Step-by-Step Instructions for Golden Greek Honey Pie
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with a bit of unsalted butter.
  2. Unwrap the phyllo dough, covering it with a damp towel. Layer 8 sheets of phyllo into the greased baking dish, brushing each with melted butter.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together semolina flour, eggs, granulated sugar, whole milk, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and a pinch of salt until smooth.
  4. Pour the creamy filling over the prepared phyllo base and cover with the last sheet of phyllo, brushing it with melted butter.
  5. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes until the top is golden brown and slightly puffed. Check during the last minutes of baking.
  6. Remove from the oven and drizzle with warm honey. Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds on top. Allow to cool slightly before slicing.
