Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a baking sheet with butter.
- Mix together pumpkin, honey, sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a medium bowl.
- Cut phyllo dough into vertical strips about 2 inches wide, and cover the pile of phyllo strips with a clean, damp tea towel.
- Lay one phyllo strip flat on a workspace in front of you. Using a pastry brush, brush the surface of the phyllo dough with an even coat of melted butter. Place a tablespoon of the pumpkin filling at the end of the phyllo strip. Starting at the end with the pumpkin filling, fold the phyllo dough over as you would a flag until the phyllo is the shape of a triangle. Place on baking sheet.
- Repeat until all of the pumpkin filling is used up.
- Bake for 30 minutes or until the tops of the triangles are golden brown.

Steps:
- Put the grated pumpkin in a colander (sieve) and toss with 2 tsps salt.
- Allow to drain for 1 hour.
- After 1 hour, squeeze pumpkin between hands to remove extra water.
- Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat and add pumpkin and onion.
- Saute gently for 8-10 minutes to evaporate more liquid.
- Remove from heat, let cool 5 minutes and stir in cheese, parsley, dill, breadcrumbs, milk, some pepper and the eggs.
- Combine this mixture well.
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Get a 13 X 9 inch pan and brush with some melted butter.
- Start layering the phyllo pastry in the pan, brushing each layer with butter before adding the next.
- Use up 1/2 the phyllo+ 2 extra sheets.
- Spoon the pumpkin filling into the prepared pan and turn any overhanging phyllo inwards, over the filling.
- Layer the remaining phyllo sheets neatly on top, buttering each before adding the next.
- Butter the last sheet VERY generously.
- Cut away any overhang and, with the tip of a small, sharp knife, cut gently through the top layers of pastry, lengthwise, into 3 strips.
- Be careful not to cut all the way down through the pastry, you just want to pierce the top few layers.
- Cut through the pastry in the width too, creating the pieces that will eventually be served when the pie is baked.
- Bake pie for approximately 1 hour, until a lovely golden-brown colour.
- Remove, and allow to rest for 15-20 minutes before cutting all the way through the pre-cut pieces to serve.
- Serve hot or cold.
