Brush the sheet with an even layer of butter and repeat for second layer.
Center a slice of cheese 3 inches from the end closest to you, fold the fillo over and brush with butter.
Fold in each side of the sheet and brush with butter; Fold over until you get to the other side and transfer the sheet to sheet pan lined with parchment paper.
Repeat step 4-6 with all slices of cheese.
Brush the surface of each piece with a final layer of butter and bake for 20-25 or until golden brown.
Transfer each slice to a serving plate and drizzle each with 2 Tbsp(s) of honey before finishing each slice with 1 tsp(s) of fresh thyme, and 1 tsp(s) of toasted sesame seeds.
