Croquants variation

Has anyone used pecans in croquants?  I can find a few recipes but they are predominantly almonds and hazelnuts.  I wonder if that is because they are more popular in France or because of the tendency of pecans to burn a little more?

I just looked up croquants. They look delish. Dorie Greenspan (in Around my French Table) makes a version with salted cashews, and another with fruit and nuts. I don't see why you couldn't use whatever nut you want.

Thanks for bringing this up! Worth trying!

Did my post seem to imply something other than that?
NO ... Not at all. It's just that I was gonna say what Brian said ... up to the point that HE said it ... and I was kinda left with nothing to say.

Me too. I have an addiction to creme caramel so often have excess egg white. I freeze them in measured amounts until inspired for a merengue dessert. Soon it will be something like this, or a Pavlova.
Or clarified stock.....

@IceMan Got it.

I've been making lots of pavlova recently. I had a group coming over and made a massive one on a sheet pan
