Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with butter.
Step 2
Crack eggs into a blender. Add whole milk, condensed milk, and vanilla. Blend until smooth, ~30 seconds.
Step 3
Pour custard mixture evenly into prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
Step 4
Bake for 14–16 minutes until edges are set but centers still jiggle slightly when shaken.
Step 5
Remove from oven and let cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then run a thin knife around each tart to loosen.
Step 6
Pop tarts out onto a plate. Dust lightly with cinnamon if desired. Serve warm or at room temperature.
