Ingredients
  

For the Phyllo Base
  • 1 package Phyllo Dough Layered for a flaky, crispy texture; keep covered to avoid drying out.
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter Adds richness and crispness to the layers; brush melted butter evenly between sheets.
For the Filling
  • 1 cup Semolina Flour Provides structure and creaminess; substitute finely ground cornmeal for a unique twist.
  • 3 large Eggs Essential for binding and enriching the filling; opt for large eggs for optimal texture.
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar Sweetens the mixture; coconut sugar is a great alternative for a natural option.
  • 2 cups Whole Milk Contributes to a rich, creamy filling; feel free to use almond milk for a dairy-free version.
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon Infuses a warm flavor throughout; adjust according to your taste preference.
  • 1/4 teaspoon Ground Nutmeg Enhances the spice profile; remember, a little goes a long way!
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt Balances the sweet flavors; a pinch is all you need.
For the Topping
  • 1/2 cup Honey Drizzled generously for sweetness and moisture; substitute with maple syrup for a vegan option.
  • 2 tablespoons Toasted Sesame Seeds Adds a delightful crunch and nuttiness; can be omitted for a simpler pie.
