1

Preheat the oven to 350ยฐF.

2

Brush a 9x13-inch baking pan with melted butter (or line it with parchment paper).

3

Unroll the phyllo sheets.

4

Remove two phyllo sheets together and, starting from a short end, fold them accordion-style.

5

Stack the folded phyllo sheets upright in the prepared pan.

6

Continue folding two sheets at a time and tucking them into the pan until you've used all the phyllo sheets and the pan is completely full.

7

Bake the phyllo until pale golden.

8

Remove the pan from the oven and pour the melted butter evenly over the phyllo.

9

Return the pan to the oven and bake for another 10 minutes.

10

As the phyllo bakes, whisk together the eggs, sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth for the custard mixture.

11

Pour the custard mixture over the now-golden phyllo, and add a shake of cinnamon if desired.

12

Return the pan to the oven and bake until deep golden and the custard has set.

13

Meanwhile, bring the sugar and water to a boil in a saucepan and cook until the syrup reduces to the consistency of maple syrup.

14

Pour the warm syrup over the phyllo cake as soon as it comes out of the oven.

15

Scatter the chopped pistachios or other nuts over the top, if desired.
