In another bowl, combine the beaten eggs, brown sugar, melted margarine or butter, vanilla, and a dash of salt. Mix well, but avoid using a beater to prevent a crusty top.
Divide the chopped pecans evenly among the pastry shells.
Pour the filling into each shell, filling them about 2/3 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes.
Let the tarts cool slightly before removing them from the muffin tin, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Tips for Success
Make sure the cream cheese and butter are at room temperature for easier mixing.
Press the dough evenly in the muffin cups to ensure a uniform bake.
Allow the tarts to cool in the tin for a few minutes to make removal easier.

Add a tablespoon of chocolate chips or raisins to each tart for added flavor.
If you’re short on time, use pre-made frozen tart shells.
