I had 4 eggs nearing their expiration date, so I tried this recipe. The texture is somewhere between a custard tart and an egg flan. It's a quick recipe for a small evening dessert.

Steps

30 minutes at 340°F (170°C)

1

Arrange your ramekins in a deep baking dish or roasting pan. Prepare the caramel and pour it into the bottom of each ramekin.
2

Crack the eggs and whisk them. Add the sweetened condensed milk and whisk, then add the milk and vanilla extract.
3

Pour the egg and milk mixture into each ramekin. Add water to the baking dish until it reaches halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
4

Bake at 340°F (170°C) for 30 minutes. Check doneness by inserting the tip of a knife—do not overbake!
5

Carefully remove the ramekins from the baking dish. Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon sugar on top of each and caramelize with a kitchen torch for a crunchy topping. Chill in the refrigerator for at least one night.
