1-1/2 cups finely chopped pecans

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 large egg, room temperature, lightly beaten

Pumpkin filling:
2 large eggs
1-1/4 cups canned pumpkin
1 cup evaporated milk
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Dash salt
1/2 cup chopped pecans

Directions

-In a small bowl, combine the pecans, sugar, and butter. Press onto the bottom of a greased 9-in. springform pan. Place the pan on a baking sheet. Bake at 400° for 10 minutes.

-In a small bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Add egg; beat on low speed just until combined. Spread over crust. In another bowl, combine the eggs, pumpkin, milk, sugar, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt; pour over the cream cheese layer.

-Reduce heat to 350°. Bake for 55-60 minutes or until a knife inserted into the pumpkin layer comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Carefully run a knife around the edge of the pan to loosen; cool 1 hour longer. Sprinkle with pecans. Chill overnight. Remove the side of the pan before cutting. Refrigerate leftovers.
