Step 1
Whisk eggs with condensed milk and vanilla until smooth. Set aside.
Step 2
Heat sugar in a saucepan over medium heat without stirring until golden caramel forms, ~4 minutes.
Step 3
Pour caramel into an oven-safe skillet or small baking dish, tilting to coat the bottom evenly.
Step 4
Pour custard mixture over caramel. Set the skillet in a larger pan filled with hot water (water bath) halfway up the sides.
Step 5
Bake at 325°F for 12–15 minutes until edges set but center jiggles slightly. Cool 5 minutes, then refrigerate until ready to serve.
Step 6
Meanwhile, butter bread slices and toast in a skillet over medium heat until golden on both sides, ~3 minutes total.
Step 7
Run a knife around custard edges, invert onto a plate so caramel drips over top. Serve warm over toast with a pinch of sea salt.
