In a bowl, whisk together 1/3 cup sugar, eggs, egg whites, milk, vanilla and salt; pour into five 6-oz. custard cups. Place cups in a baking pan. Fill pan with boiling water to a depth of 1 in.

Before serving, in a heavy saucepan over medium heat, heat water and remaining sugar until sugar is melted. Do not stir.
