Ingredients
  

For the Phyllo Layers
  • 1 package Phyllo Dough Flaky base layer; use fresh or thawed sheets for best results.
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter Adds richness and ensures phyllo layers are crispy; substitute with olive oil for a lighter option.
For the Creamy Filling
  • 1 cup Semolina Flour Provides structure and creaminess; can be replaced with cornstarch for a gluten-free version.
  • 3 large Large Eggs Acts as a binder, giving the pie a custard-like texture when baked.
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar Sweetens the pie; adjust quantity for desired sweetness level.
  • 2 cups Whole Milk Contributes to the creaminess of the filling; almond or oat milk serves as good dairy-free alternatives.
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon Adds warmth and flavor; nutmeg can be used for a slightly different spice profile.
  • 1/4 teaspoon Ground Nutmeg Enhances the aromatic qualities of the filling.
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt Balances the sweetness of the pie.
For the Topping
  • 1/2 cup Honey Finish with a sticky glaze that enhances the overall flavor; maple syrup or agave nectar can be vegan alternatives.
  • 1/4 cup Toasted Sesame Seeds Adds crunch and a nutty flavor as a topping.

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with unsalted butter or olive oil.
  2. Take one sheet of phyllo dough and lay it in the prepared dish, brushing it with melted butter. Layer six more sheets, buttering each.
  3. In a bowl, whisk together semolina flour, large eggs, granulated sugar, whole milk, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt until smooth.
  4. Carefully pour the creamy mixture over the layered phyllo base, spreading evenly.
  5. Layer the remaining phyllo sheets over the filling, brushing each with melted butter. Score the top lightly for cutting.
  6. Bake in the oven for 40-45 minutes until golden and crispy on top.
  7. Let cool for about 10 minutes on a wire rack. Drizzle with warmed honey and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds.
  8. Serve warm or at room temperature, enjoying its texture and aroma.
