Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with unsalted butter or cooking spray.
  2. Layer seven sheets of phyllo dough in the greased dish, brushing each layer with melted butter.
  3. Whisk together semolina flour, eggs, granulated sugar, whole milk, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and a pinch of salt in a mixing bowl until smooth.
  4. Pour the semolina mixture over the layered phyllo dough, spreading it evenly.
  5. Lay another sheet of phyllo over the filling, brush with melted butter, and lightly score the top with a knife.
  6. Bake the pie for 40-45 minutes until the top is golden brown and the filling is set.
