Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Prepare a caramel by melting sugar in a saucepan over medium heat until golden brown, then pour into a round baking dish.

In a blender, combine eggs, sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until smooth.

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

Place the baking dish in a larger roasting pan and add hot water to the roasting pan to create a water bath.

Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until set and a knife inserted comes out clean.

Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature.

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

To serve, run a knife around the edges and invert onto a serving plate.
