Description

Golden Greek Honey Pie is a traditional Mediterranean dessert featuring a creamy custard filling baked in a flaky crust and finished with a generous drizzle of aromatic honey and cinnamon. Simple, elegant, and irresistibly delicious, it combines the richness of a smooth custard with the sweet floral notes of Greek honey, making it a perfect treat for any occasion.

Ingredients

Pie

  • 1 prepared pie crust

Custard Filling

  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 3 large eggs
  • ⅓ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Toppings

  • ½ cup Greek honey
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • Chopped pistachios, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for baking the custard pie evenly.
  2. Prepare pie crust: Place the prepared pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish, pressing it gently to fit snugly along the bottom and sides.
  3. Mix custard filling: In a medium bowl, whisk together the whole milk, eggs, granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps.
  4. Fill the crust: Pour the custard mixture into the prepared pie crust, ensuring an even distribution.
  5. Bake the pie: Place the pie dish in the oven and bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the custard is set in the center and the top is lightly golden brown.
  6. Cool the pie: Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool for at least 20 minutes to set further and become easier to slice.
  7. Add honey and cinnamon: Drizzle the pie generously with Greek honey and sprinkle ground cinnamon over the top to enhance the flavor and aroma.
  8. Garnish and serve: Optionally, sprinkle chopped pistachios atop the pie for a delightful crunch before serving. Enjoy slightly warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Best served slightly warm or at room temperature to enjoy the full flavor and texture.
