Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°F. Place 4 small ramekins or muffin tins in a baking dish.
Step 2
Whisk eggs, whole milk, condensed milk, vanilla, and sugar in a bowl until smooth and combined.
Step 3
Divide mixture evenly among ramekins. Pour hot water into the baking dish until it reaches halfway up the ramekin sides.
Step 4
Bake 12-14 minutes — tops should jiggle slightly when shaken but the center should not slosh.
Step 5
Remove from oven and let cool 2 minutes. Run a knife around the edges if serving warm from the ramekin.
Step 6
Serve warm alongside a shot of hot espresso for dipping or sipping between bites.
