    Roasted Pecan Butter, Honeycomb and Sea Salt Toast

    Good morning and Happy Monday!

    Roasted Pecan Butter Toast

    Perhaps you are wondering why I am so cheery on a post-Holiday Monday morning.  The reason?  I’m currently enjoying a slice of this Roasted Pecan Butter, Honeycomb and Sea Salt toast.  Crispy, smooth, salty and sweet, this loaded toast starts with a slice of crunchy bread slathered with homemade Roasted Pecan Butter.  Finished with chopped pecans, glistening Maldon salt and dots of sticky honeycomb, this simple-to-prepare breakfast can make any morning a special occasion (especially Mondays!).

    I mentioned a homemade Roasted Pecan Butter above, and let. me. tell. you, it’s so easy to make.  All you need is several cups of pecans, sea salt and a food processor (or blender).  As the food processor whirs on, the pecans go from chopped to a paste to a puree to (eventually) a smooth butter.  Finish with sea salt to taste.  Continue reading for the recipe.

    I’ve been itching to make homemade nut butter since reading about the process (+many variations) in Peanut Butter Comfort.  I’m glad I finally got around to it!  Imagine the possibilities: maple pecan butter, ginger pecan butter, coconut pecan butter, cinnamon pecan butter and gingerbread pecan butter to name just a few.  The process can be applied to other nuts as well: almonds, walnuts, pistachios, etc.

    Servings 1 slice of toast

    Ingredients
      

    For the Roasted Pecan Butter:

    • 4 cups pecans
    • 1/2 teaspoon fine grain sea salt, plus more to taste

    For the toast:

    • Sliced bread, chopped pecans, honeycomb (or honey) and flaky sea salt

    Instructions
     

    • To make the Roasted Pecan Butter, preheat an oven to 450°F and set a rack in the middle of the oven. Spread pecans out evenly on a rimmed baking sheet, and toast in the oven until fragrant (10 – 15 minutes). Start checking the pecans around minute 10, and keep a watchful eye to avoid burning. Let pecans cool completely.
    • Transfer pecans to a food processor or high-powered blender, and add sea salt. Process for 10 – 15 minutes until the pecans turn into a smooth butter, scraping down the sides several times throughout. Season to taste with additional salt (I added 1/4 teaspoon more). Pour Roasted Pecan Butter into a clean jar, and store in the refrigerator for up to several weeks.
    • To make the toast, crisp up a slice of bread in a toaster or oven, then top with a couple spoonfuls of Roasted Pecan Butter. Scatter chopped pecans over the toast, dot with honeycomb and finish with a sprinkling of flaky sea salt. Enjoy immediately.

        Thanks Liren! My weekend was relaxing. Pecans are a favorite of mine too. I just love the smokey, caramely notes that come out when they’re roasted.

      For some strange reason I’ve been so scared of making nut butters… but this post may help me get over that fear. If I could have this every morning I’d be a happy guy.

      Brandon – what a simple but delicious breakfast. I’ve made lots of roasted and ground nuts for Passover baking but haven’t turned any of it into butter. With your inspiration, maybe I’ll do that – with a drizzle of honey on matzo.

      What an amazing breakfast. I love toast in the morning with my coffee – I usually top with smashed avocado or almond butter and hemp seeds. I love this creative combination and can’t wait to try!

        Avocado toast is a staple in my house too. When I’m not eating almond or pecan butter toast!

      It’s amazing how naturally sweet roasted pecans are, just by themselves, isn’t it? Love your toast inspiration! Never really knew what to do with my honeycomb, but this is a great idea.

        Yeah, I looooove pecans. I’ve always got a Costco bag of them in my pantry. I purchased the honeycomb for a cheese plate, and now I like to spread it on toast or sometimes mix in ice cream. Thanks Dorothy!

      Hi Brandon,
      Thanks for this idea! I was just thinking that I’m getting sick of plain old peanut butter, and pecans have always been my favorite nut. Pecan butter might be my new go to with sliced bananas on toast for breakfast!
