To make this Eggnog Pecan Pie with Buttery Crust, you will need the following ingredients:
For the crust:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed

For the filling:
- 1 cup eggnog

- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

To start, preheat your oven to 350°F. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt for the crust. Add the chilled butter and use a pastry cutter or your hands to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the ice water and mix until the dough comes together. Roll out the dough on a floured surface and transfer it to a 9-inch pie dish. Trim the edges and set aside.
In another mixing bowl, whisk together the eggnog, eggs, sugar, melted butter, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt for the filling. Stir in the pecan halves and pour the mixture into the prepared crust.
Bake the pie for 45-50 minutes or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown. Let the pie cool completely before serving.
