A delicious Greek dessert made with layers of phyllo dough and a creamy, sweet filling flavored with cinnamon and nutmeg, topped with honey and sesame seeds.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 sheets of phyllo dough
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup semolina flour
  • 3 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1/2 cup honey, warmed
  • 2 tbsp sesame seeds, toasted

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. Lay one sheet of phyllo in the dish and brush generously with melted butter. Repeat with 6 more sheets, stacking them neatly.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together semolina, eggs, sugar, milk, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until smooth. Pour the mixture over the phyllo base.
  4. Top with the remaining phyllo sheet, brushing with butter between each layer. Score the top lightly with a knife.
  5. Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until golden brown and set. Let cool for 10 minutes.
  6. Drizzle warmed honey over the pie and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds. Slice and serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Make sure your phyllo dough is thawed before using. Brush each layer with plenty of butter for a crispy texture.
