Ingredients: For shortbread crust: ½ cup all-purpose flour, 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened, 1 tablespoon granulated sugar, 1 egg yolk, ¼ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract; For bourbon custard: 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, 3 tablespoons granulated sugar, 1 large egg yolk, 2 tablespoons heavy cream, 1 tablespoon bourbon, ½ teaspoon vanilla extract, pinch of salt; For pecan brittle: 2 ounces pecan halves, 3 tablespoons granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, ¼ teaspoon fleur de sel, pinch of cayenne pepper

A homemade shortbread crust, thin and crispy, cradles a silky bourbon-brown butter custard set with just enough thickening to quiver on the fork. Topped with shards of caramelized pecan brittle and a whisper of fleur de sel, it captures the luxe, slightly boozy sophistication of New Orleans without a grain of cliché.
