  2. Remove from heat; cool 5 minutes.
  3. In a bowl, beat eggs and sugar until fluffy.
  4. Add the semolina mixture.
  5. Add 1/2-cup of the melted butter and lemon rind; blend well.
  6. Place 8 phyllo sheets in a buttered 13 x 9-inch baking pan, BRUSHING EACH sheet generously with melted butter.
  7. Allow phyllo to extend up sides of pan.
  8. Spread filling evenly over phyllo; fold overhanging phyllo over the filling and brush with butter.
  9. Cover with 8 buttered phyllo sheets, which have been trimmed to fit pan.
  10. With a sharp knife, score only through the top phyllo layers making 4 equal rows, lengthwise.

  12. Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 45 minutes.
