Ingredients

1 package phyllo dough, thawed if frozen
1 stick unsalted butter, melted
2 c. halved fresh strawberries, divided (quarter berries if large)
4 tsp. honey, divided, plus more for finishing
3/4 c. roasted pistachios, roughly chopped

Instructions

Using a pastry brush, spread a thin layer of melted butter over the bottom of a sheet pan. Lay 2-3 sheets phyllo dough into the pan, then coat the top sheet with another thin layer of melted butter.
Place 1 cup halved strawberries, cut side down, into vertical lines on dough, keeping rows about 1 inch apart. Drizzle berries with 2 teaspoons honey, top with 2-3 more sheets phyllo dough, and brush pastry with melted butter.
Repeat process with remaining berries and honey, and top again with two sheets phyllo dough brushed with melted butter.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Bake 25 minutes, or until dough begins to crisp and turns a light golden brown. Drizzle top with additional honey, if desired, and sprinkle with chopped pistachios. Bake another 15 minutes, until dough is flaky and dark golden. Allow to cool before cutting into squares to serve.
