Step 1
Heat oven to 375°F. Line a sheet pan with parchment or foil.
Step 2
Toss shredded phyllo with melted butter until evenly coated, then spread on the sheet pan in a thin, even layer.
Step 3
Mix mozzarella and ricotta in a bowl, then dollop spoonfuls across the phyllo and gently press them in.
Step 4
Bake until the phyllo is deep golden and edges curl, 8–10 minutes. Watch closely so it doesn't char.
Step 5
While it bakes, warm honey with lemon juice in a small saucepan over low heat, about 2 minutes.
Step 6
Remove konafa from oven. Pour honey syrup over it immediately. Let cool 2 minutes, then serve warm or at room temperature.
