In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until smooth.

6

Pour the egg mixture over the caramel in the baking dish.

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil to prevent browning.

Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to set completely.
