Notes

Make ahead: assemble in the pan, cover tightly and refrigerate up to 24 hours. Bake straight from the fridge, adding 1 to 2 minutes.
Nut-free: skip the pecans or use toasted pepitas.
Storage: refrigerate leftovers up to 3 days and reheat at 350°F (175°C) for 5 minutes to re-crisp. Don't leave them out more than 2 hours.
