Step 1
Whisk egg yolks, condensed milk, and vanilla in a bowl until smooth and pale.
Step 2
Place phyllo cups on a 12-inch skillet. Spoon custard into each cup, filling three-quarters full.
Step 3
Cover skillet with a lid. Cook over medium heat until custard sets around edges but centers still jiggle slightly, 4–5 minutes.
Step 4
Sprinkle sugar over each tart. Dot with tiny pieces of butter. Increase heat to medium-high.
Step 5
Cook uncovered until sugar melts and caramelizes, 2–3 minutes. Watch carefully so it doesn't burn.
Step 6
Cool for 1 minute on the skillet, then transfer to a plate with a spatula. Serve warm.
