Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Whisk egg yolks, condensed milk, and vanilla in a bowl until smooth and pale.

  2. Step 2

    Place phyllo cups on a 12-inch skillet. Spoon custard into each cup, filling three-quarters full.

  3. Step 3

    Cover skillet with a lid. Cook over medium heat until custard sets around edges but centers still jiggle slightly, 4–5 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Sprinkle sugar over each tart. Dot with tiny pieces of butter. Increase heat to medium-high.

  5. Step 5

    Cook uncovered until sugar melts and caramelizes, 2–3 minutes. Watch carefully so it doesn't burn.

  6. Step 6

    Cool for 1 minute on the skillet, then transfer to a plate with a spatula. Serve warm.
