Ingredients
For the crust:
- 1/2 c. pecans or other nut toasted and chopped
- 1 c. flour
- 1/3 c. powdered sugar
- 1 t. salt
- 1/2 c. 1 stick butter, cut into pieces
For the filling:
- 4 eggs
- 1 1/4 c. sugar
- 1/2 c. flour
- 3/4 c. fresh squeezed Meyer Lemon juice
Instructions
- Line an 8 x 8 baking dish with foil or parchment paper that hangs over the edge so it is easy to take out of the pan.

- To make the crust combine all the crust ingredients in a food processor and pulse several times. Then process on high for 1 minute or until the mixture begins to come together.
- Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan and bake in the oven for 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, prepare the lemon filling. Beat the eggs in a large bowl. Whisk in the sugar, flour, and lemon juice and mix until smooth.
- Pour the lemon mixture over top of the crust and bake in the oven for 30 minutes or until the filling is set and the edges begin turning golden.
- Remove from oven and cool completely on a wire rack.
- Use the foil or parchment to remove the bars from the pan. Dust with powdered sugar if desired and cut into 16 bars.
- Store bars in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
