Step 1
Preheat oven to 400°F. Brush a 12-cup muffin tin with melted butter.
Step 2
Line each muffin cup with one phyllo sheet, letting edges hang over rim. Brush lightly with melted butter.
Step 3
Whisk together eggs, evaporated milk, sugar, vanilla, and salt until smooth and pale.
Step 4
Pour custard mixture evenly into each phyllo cup, filling to just below the rim.
Step 5
Top each tart with a small piece of cold butter. Bake 8–10 minutes until custard is set but centers still jiggle slightly.
Step 6
Remove from oven and let cool 2 minutes in the tin before sliding onto a plate.
