Variations & Tips
For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the pecan mixture. If you’re not a fan of Dijon mustard, you can substitute it with whole grain mustard for a different texture. For a gluten-free version, replace the breadcrumbs with crushed gluten-free crackers or omit them entirely. You can also try this recipe with chicken breasts or a turkey tenderloin for a different protein option.
