• optional: 1/2 cup tahini

1. Preheat oven to 350F.

2. Line a cookie sheet pan with parchment paper.

3. Spread pistachios around the sheet pan and bake for 8min.

4. Let the pistachios chill while you're mixing ingredients.

5. In a small saucepan or pot, melt the butter.

6. Mix till it turns a golden brown. Remove from heat and set aside to cool but not harden.

7. In a small bowl, whisk the brown butter + tahini + sugars + eggs + vanilla.

13. Bake for 8-10 min, rotating the pan at the 5min. mark.
