Ingredients

Pastry:
1 cup butter
6 ounces cream cheese, softened
2 cups all-purpose flour

Filling:
4 large eggs
3 cups packed brown sugar
1 cup chopped pecans
4 tablespoons melted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pinch salt

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease two mini tart pans.

Make the pastry: Combine butter and cream cheese in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Add flour and mix to form a smooth dough.

Divide dough into 48 balls; place one ball in each greased cup of tart pans. Use your fingers or a tart tamper to press out into a tart shell.

Make the filling: Break eggs into a large bowl. Add brown sugar, pecans, melted butter, vanilla, and salt; mix until well combined. Spoon filling into prepared tart shells, filling each 3/4 full.

Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 30 minutes. Transfer tarts to a wire rack to cool completely.
