Step 1
Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a standard muffin tin with phyllo sheets, brushing each with melted butter as you layer (2 sheets per cup).
Step 2
Whisk eggs, sugar, evaporated milk, vanilla, cornstarch, and salt in a bowl until completely smooth and no lumps remain.
Step 3
Pour custard filling into each phyllo cup until three-quarters full. Bake 12–15 minutes until filling is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
Step 4
Cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
