Instructions
- Prepare the Oven
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch pie pan or line it with parchment paper.
- Mix the Wet Ingredients
- In a medium bowl, combine the melted butter and sugar. Stir in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

- Pour and Bake
- Pour the batter into the prepared pie pan and smooth the top. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the edges are set and the center remains slightly gooey.

- Let the pie cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. Enjoy as is or with a scoop of ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an added touch.
