Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish thoroughly with butter or cooking spray.
  2. Lay one sheet of phyllo dough in the greased baking dish, brush it generously with melted butter. Repeat with six more sheets.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine semolina flour, three large eggs, granulated sugar, whole milk, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and a pinch of salt. Whisk until smooth.
  4. Pour the filling over the phyllo base and spread evenly with a spatula.
  5. Cover with the last sheet of phyllo, brush with melted butter, and score the top layer with a knife in a diamond pattern.
  6. Bake for 40–45 minutes until golden brown and set.
  7. Let the pie cool for about 10 minutes, drizzle with warmed honey, and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds.
  8. Slice the pie into squares or diamonds and serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Keep unused phyllo covered with a damp cloth to maintain its pliability. Use melted butter that is not too hot to prevent toughening the phyllo. Watch for color as cooking times may vary, and let the pie cool before drizzling with honey.
