Answer 1

It's called bougatsa me krema.  Here's the recipe.

Ingredients:

4 1/4 cups of whole milk

sliced peel of 1 lemon

1 1/4 cups of granulated sugar

3/4 cup of semolina

4 eggs

1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract

12 sheets of commercial phyllo dough

6 ounces of butter, melted

-----------

For the topping:

confectioner's sugar

ground cinnamon

Preparation:

Warm the milk and lemon peel in a saucepan. Stir in semolina with a wooden spoon until the mixture is thoroughly blended and thickened. In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs, sugar, and vanilla until light and add to the pan, stirring over medium-low heat until it reaches a creamy custard consistency. Remove from heat, take out and discard lemon peel, and allow to cool completely. Stir occasionally to keep the custard from forming a skin on top.

Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).

Lightly brush a baking pan (13 X 9 X 2 or equivalent) with butter. Line the bottom of the pan with 8 sheets of phyllo, brushing each sheet well with the melted butter. Add the custard filling. Fold the excess phyllo that overlaps the pan in over the custard. Top with the remaining phyllo, brushing each with butter. Use a scissors to trim the top sheets to the size of the pan. Spray the top lightly with water and bake at 350°F (180°C) for 30-40 minutes, until the top is golden brown.

Remove from oven, sprinkle with confectioner's sugar and cinnamon while hot, and serve warm.

Answer 3

"bugatsa la creme de kakenilla"

Justin, are you sure it's Greek.  Greeks don't use "la" and "de".  That's mainly Italy, Spain and perhaps France.

EDIT:

Yeah.... I found it..!! And yes, it is Greek.  Oh well, learn something new each day.
