Step 1
Toss shredded phyllo with melted butter until every strand is coated.
Step 2
Heat a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Press half the phyllo mixture into an even layer.
Step 3
Scatter shredded cheese evenly over the phyllo, then top with the remaining phyllo mixture.
Step 4
Cook without stirring until the bottom is golden and crispy, ~4 minutes. Slide onto a plate, flip, and cook the other side until golden, ~3 minutes.
Step 5
While künefe cooks, warm honey in a small saucepan over low heat until it steams slightly.
Step 6
Pour warm honey over the hot künefe immediately after flipping. Top with clotted cream and crushed pistachios. Serve at once.
