METHOD
Why It Works
Oats absorb the egg-and-milk custard as it bakes, setting into something that slices cleanly and reheats beautifully. The pecans on top toast in the oven so you get crunch without a separate step.
Quick Fixes
Too dry: Don’t overbake. Pull when center is just set.
Too wet in the middle: Let it rest before slicing — it firms up as it cools.
