Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with melted butter.
  2. Layer one sheet of phyllo dough in the greased dish, brush with melted butter, and repeat for six more sheets.
  3. In a bowl, whisk together semolina flour, eggs, granulated sugar, whole milk, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and a pinch of salt until smooth.
  4. Pour the filling over the prepared phyllo base, spreading it evenly. Add a final sheet of phyllo on top, brushing with melted butter.
  5. Bake the pie for 40-45 minutes until golden brown and the filling is set.
  6. Let it cool for about 10 minutes, then warm the honey to drizzle over the pie.
  7. Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds over the pie before serving.
  8. Slice into portions and serve warm or at room temperature with coffee or tea.
