Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 425°F. Brush a 12-cup muffin tin with melted butter.

  2. Step 2

    Layer two phyllo sheets into each cup, pressing down gently and letting edges flare out. Brush each layer with melted butter as you go.

  3. Step 3

    Whisk eggs, milk, sugar, and cinnamon until smooth. Pour custard into phyllo cups, filling each three-quarters full.

  4. Step 4

    Bake 10 minutes until custard is set at edges but still slightly jiggly in the center and phyllo edges are golden brown.

  5. Step 5

    Cool 2 minutes in the tin, then slide a thin knife around each cup and lift out onto a plate.
