Step 1
Preheat oven to 400°F. Brush a 12-cup muffin tin lightly with melted butter.
Step 2
Lay one phyllo sheet flat, brush with butter, then press gently into each muffin cup to form a small nest. Repeat with 1–2 more layers per cup.
Step 3
Whisk eggs, condensed milk, evaporated milk, and vanilla until smooth and pale.
Step 4
Pour custard into phyllo nests until three-quarters full. Sprinkle sesame seeds over each tart.
Step 5
Bake 12–14 minutes until phyllo edges are golden brown and custard is set but slightly jiggly in the center.
Step 6
Cool in the pan 5 minutes, then slide a thin knife around each tart and lift onto a plate. Serve warm or at room temperature.
