Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
Make the caramel: In a small saucepan, combine sugar and water. Cook over medium heat, swirling occasionally, until the sugar dissolves and turns into a deep amber caramel. Be careful not to burn it!
Pour the caramel evenly into the bottom of ramekins or a baking dish.
Make the custard: In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, egg yolks, sweetened condensed milk, whole milk, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.
Pour the custard mixture over the caramel in the ramekins or baking dish.
Place the ramekins or baking dish in a larger baking pan. Add hot water to the larger pan, creating a water bath that reaches halfway up the sides of the ramekins or baking dish.
Bake for 45-60 minutes, or until the custard is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
Remove from the oven and let cool completely. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
To serve, run a thin knife around the edge of each custard. Invert onto a plate, allowing the caramel to drizzle over the custard. Enjoy!
