Step 1
Preheat oven to 400°F. Brush a muffin tin with melted butter.
Step 2
Stack phyllo sheets and cut into 3-inch squares. Press each square into a muffin cup, creating a shell.
Step 3
Whisk eggs, condensed milk, and vanilla until smooth, about 1 minute.
Step 4
Pour custard into each phyllo shell until three-quarters full.
Step 5
Sprinkle sugar over each tart. Bake until custard is set but slightly jiggly in center, 12-14 minutes.
Step 6
Cool in the tin for 2 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
