Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  2. Unroll the phyllo dough, keeping it covered with a damp towel. Layer six sheets brushed with melted butter in the greased dish.
  3. Whisk together semolina flour, eggs, sugar, milk, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until smooth.
  4. Pour the semolina mixture over the phyllo layer and spread evenly.
  5. Cover with a final phyllo sheet, brush with melted butter, and score lightly for easier slicing.
  6. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, until golden brown. Keep an eye on the last few minutes.
  7. Drizzle warm honey on top and sprinkle with sesame seeds after cooling slightly.
  8. Allow to cool for slicing, then serve warm or at room temperature.
