In a pot, combine whole milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and a broken cinnamon stick.

Bring to a boil, then reduce to a low simmer for about 10 minutes, whisking to integrate.

Let the mixture cool down to lukewarm.

Whisk the egg yolks in a separate bowl.

Add the cooled milk mixture to the egg yolks, whisking to combine.

Strain the mixture to remove the cinnamon stick and any lumps.

Pour the mixture into small oven-proof molds.

Place the molds in a water bath, ensuring the water reaches halfway up the sides of the molds.

Bake in the oven at 350°F (180°C) for about 40 minutes.

Perform a toothpick check; if it comes out dry, it's done.

If the top isn't golden, switch to broil for a few minutes to toast the top.

Remove from the oven and let cool before refrigerating.
