Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Beat eggs, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger in a bowl until blended. Stir in milk and pumpkin until mixture is smooth; transfer to a 9-inch glass pie dish. Sprinkle with pecans.

Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes; reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and continue baking until the edges are set and the center jiggles slightly when the dish is gently shaken, 30 to 40 minutes more.

For best results and clean slices, let cool completely, at least 1 hour, before slicing and serving.
