Step 1
Preheat oven to 400°F. Roll out the 1 sheet puff pastry on a floured surface, then cut into 6 squares and press each into a muffin tin cup, trimming excess.
Step 2
In a bowl, whisk together 3 egg yolks, 0.5 cup sugar, 0.75 cup heavy cream, 0.25 cup milk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla until smooth.
Step 3
Pour the custard mixture into the pastry-lined cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Step 4
Bake for 15-18 minutes, until the pastry is golden and the custard is set with a caramelized top—jiggle slightly but not liquid.
Step 5
Let cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then carefully remove and serve warm.
