Prepare your table as an assembly line, (Baking dish, laid phyllo sheets divided into two parts, melted butter with brush, and the filling).
The first step is to add the bread crumb to the baking dish and spread and create an even layer. (this prevents your dough from becoming soggy).
Remove the phyllo from its wrapping and gently unfold and divide the dough in half. You will use half of the stack of dough for the bottom and the other half to cover the filling.
Start with 3 sheets of phyllo and place it in the pan covering the bread crumb and spread butter all over, (one by one). Then continue one phyllo sheet at a time by placing half inside the dish and half hanging over, place in clockwise order as demonstrated.
Once done with the first half, add the filling over the phyllo and gently spread evenly. Cover the filling using the sheets that are hanging outside of the pan.
Now start adding the second half of the phyllo stack one sheet at a time and (save 8 sheets for the end). And butter after you have unfolded the hanging sheets covering the filling. Tuck in the corners if necessary and don't worry it will come together at the end after baking.
For the last 8 sheets, I take one at a time and crinkle them placing them on top of the pie as demonstrated.
Pour the rest of the melted clarified butter evenly over the assembled pie. Using the tip of a knife you will cut through the pie into squares, this will ensure that the butter gets fully absorbed. Cutting the pie is a must before placing the pie into the oven.
Place your pie in the center of the rack and bake for about 40 to 60 minutes or until golden brown. Check your pie after 40 minutes as every oven varies. Once the pie is ready, allow it to rest at room temperature for about 20 minutes before serving. Eat alone or with a nice salad. Enjoy
