Step-by-Step Instructions for Golden Greek Honey Pie
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter. Layer seven sheets of phyllo in the dish, brushing each sheet with melted butter.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine semolina, eggs, sugar, milk, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Whisk until smooth and pour over the phyllo base.
  3. Lay additional sheets of phyllo over the filling, brushing each with melted butter. Score the top layer into diamond shapes.
  4. Bake for 40-45 minutes, until golden brown and the filling is set. Watch closely to avoid burning.
  5. Remove from oven and drizzle warm honey over the top. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and cool slightly before slicing.
