For a richer flavor, use brown butter in the crust. Simply melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat, swirling occasionally, until it turns golden brown and has a nutty aroma. Let cool slightly before using. Toasting the pecans before adding them to the filling enhances their flavor and adds a delightful crunch. Toast them in a dry skillet over medium heat, or in the oven at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for about 5-7 minutes, until fragrant and lightly browned. For a cleaner cut, run a thin knife around the edge of the cheesecake before releasing it from the springform pan. You can also dip the knife in warm water between slices. Cheesecake can be frozen for up to 2 months. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and then foil. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before serving.
