Golden Greek Honey Pie (Melopita)


  • Author: Alioui
  • Total Time: 1 hour
  • Yield: 8 servings 1x

Description

The Golden Greek Honey Pie beautifully combines the flavors of honey, spices, and a rich, creamy filling all encased in crispy phyllo.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 sheets phyllo dough
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup semolina flour
  • 3 large eggs
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • Pinch of salt
  • ½ cup honey, warmed
  • 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Next, take your 9×13-inch baking dish and grease it generously with some of the melted butter.
  3. Begin layering the phyllo sheets in the prepared dish—seven sheets in total.
  4. In a separate large mixing bowl, whisk together the semolina flour, eggs, granulated sugar, whole milk, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and a pinch of salt until it’s a smooth mixture.
  5. Once your filling is ready, pour it evenly over the layered phyllo in the baking dish.
  6. Place the dish in your preheated oven and let it bake for 40 to 45 minutes.
  7. For the grand finish, drizzle the warm honey over the top of the pie and finish with a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds.

Notes

Ensure that your phyllo dough is fully thawed before using, otherwise it may tear easily during assembly.
