Step 1
Heat butter in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high until foaming, about 1 minute.
Step 2
Add shredded phyllo and toss constantly until golden and crispy, 4–5 minutes. Break up any clumps.
Step 3
Scatter cheese over the phyllo, remove from heat, and let it melt, ~1 minute.
Step 4
While phyllo cooks, warm honey with water in a small pot over low heat until thin and pourable, 2 minutes.
Step 5
Pour warm honey syrup all over the cheese-phyllo nest. Top with crushed pistachios and walnuts.
Step 6
Serve immediately with a spoon, while the cheese is still melty and syrup is warm.
