Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Golden Greek Honey Pie
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
  2. Unroll the phyllo dough, covering it with a damp towel. Layer seven sheets in the prepared 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. Carefully pour the creamy filling over the layered phyllo base, ensuring even coverage.
  5. Unfold the last sheet of phyllo dough and drape it over the top. Brush with melted butter and score the top lightly for slicing.
  6. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes until golden brown and slightly bubbling. Watch closely to avoid over-browning.
  7. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly. Drizzle warm honey over the top and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds.
