Ingredients

For the Crust

1 package Phyllo Dough Essential for that delightful flaky texture; keep covered to prevent drying out.
1/2 cup Unsalted Butter Adds richness and helps to achieve perfectly flaky layers; essential for brushing between phyllo sheets.

For the Filling

1 cup Semolina Flour Provides the creamy filling's structure and texture; fine cornmeal can be a great substitute.
3 large Eggs Binds the filling; using room temperature eggs ensures a smoother consistency.
3/4 cup Granulated Sugar Sweetens the filling beautifully; consider brown sugar for an added depth of flavor.
2 cups Whole Milk Creates a wonderfully creamy texture; almond milk works well for a dairy-free version.
1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon Adds warmth and a comforting spice; feel free to substitute with nutmeg or allspice.
1/4 teaspoon Ground Nutmeg Enhances the flavor profile; use it sparingly for balance.
1/4 teaspoon Sea Salt Perfectly balances sweetness and elevates all flavors present in the filling.
1/2 cup Honey Drizzle on top before serving for a sweet finish; maple syrup or agave can be used for vegan alternatives.
2 tablespoons Toasted Sesame Seeds Adds a lovely crunch on top; can be replaced with chopped nuts if desired.

Method

Step-by-Step Instructions for Golden Greek Honey Pie

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish generously with butter.
Unroll phyllo dough and cover it with a damp towel. Layer 7 sheets in the greased dish, brushing each with melted butter.
In a large bowl, whisk together semolina flour, eggs, sugar, milk, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until smooth.
Pour the filling over the phyllo base and cover with one additional butter-brushed sheet of phyllo.
Bake for 40-45 minutes until the top is golden brown and the filling is set. Watch closely to prevent over-browning.
Allow to cool for 10 minutes, then drizzle with honey and sprinkle sesame seeds before serving.
