Step 1
Heat oven to 425°F. Whisk eggs, condensed milk, whole milk, vanilla, and salt until smooth.
Step 2
Pour custard into four small ramekins or oven-safe cups, filling halfway.
Step 3
Place ramekins in a baking dish, add hot water halfway up the sides, and bake 10 minutes.
Step 4
Custards should jiggle slightly in the center but look set at edges—remove and let cool 1 minute.
Step 5
Sprinkle sugar on top of each custard, let it cool another minute, then serve warm.
Step 6
Pour a shot of espresso alongside each cup or serve as a palate cleanser between bites.
