# Step-by-Step Guide:

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch (23x33 cm) baking dish with melted butter.
02 -
Place one phyllo sheet in the dish and brush with melted butter. Repeat this process with six additional sheets, brushing each with butter before layering.
03 -
In a mixing bowl, whisk together semolina flour, eggs, sugar, milk, cinnamon, nutmeg, and a pinch of salt until the mixture is smooth and homogenous.
04 -
Pour the semolina custard evenly over the layered phyllo base. Top with the final phyllo sheet and brush it generously with melted butter.
05 -
Lightly score the surface with a sharp knife to prevent tearing during baking. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the top is golden and the custard is set. Allow to cool for 10 minutes.
06 -
Drizzle warm honey over the pie and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds. Cut into portions and serve warm or at room temperature.
