Step 1
Preheat oven to 400°F. Brush a 12-cup muffin tin with melted butter.
Step 2
Stack phyllo sheets and cut into 12 squares. Press one square into each muffin cup, letting edges flare.
Step 3
Whisk eggs, condensed milk, vanilla, and cinnamon until smooth and pale.
Step 4
Pour custard into each phyllo cup, filling halfway. Bake 10–12 minutes until filling wobbles slightly but edges are set.
Step 5
Cool in tin for 2 minutes, then lift tarts onto a plate. Dust with cinnamon if desired.
