Step-by-Step Instructions for Golden Greek Honey Pie
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9x13-inch baking dish by greasing it lightly with butter.
  2. Start layering the phyllo dough by placing the first sheet into the greased baking dish, brushing it generously with melted butter.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the semolina flour, eggs, sugar, milk, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and a pinch of salt. Whisk together until smooth.
  4. Pour the filling evenly over the phyllo base and layer the remaining two sheets of phyllo on top, brushing each with melted butter.
  5. Carefully place the assembled pie into the oven and bake for 40-45 minutes until golden brown.
  6. Allow the pie to cool for about 10 minutes before slicing. Drizzle warmed honey on top and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds.
