Making the Melopita Recipe is a simple yet rewarding process. Follow these steps to create your own Greek Honey Pie:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s hot and ready for baking.
2. Prepare Pie Crust: If using a store-bought crust, place it in a 9-inch pie dish. If making homemade, roll out the dough and fit it into the dish.
3. Mix Ricotta: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, honey, and eggs. Beat until well blended and smooth.
4. Add Flavors: Stir in the vanilla extract, cinnamon, lemon zest, and salt until fully incorporated.
5. Pour Filling: Carefully pour the ricotta mixture into the prepared pie crust.
6. Bake: Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is lightly golden.
7. Cool Down: Once baked, remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 15-20 minutes.
8. Chill: For the best flavor and texture, refrigerate the pie for a couple of hours before serving, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
9. Slice and Serve: Cut the Melopita into wedges for serving and enjoy the sweet, honeyed delight.

Following these straightforward steps will lead you to a delicious Melopita that will surely impress all who get to taste it.
