Christmas Egg in a Hole with Apple and Prosciutto

 On a Beautiful Christmas morning …

• Position oven racks: one rack at the top and one at the bottom of your oven.
• Place one of the baking sheets on the bottom rack. Set the other sheet on the kitchen counter.
• Preheat oven to 500F with one sheet  inside of the oven on the bottom rack.
• While the oven is preheating : whisk together 2 tbl olive oil and 1tsp mustard.
• Brush one side of each sandwich slice with olive oil mustard dressing/spread.
• Using a tree cookie cutter, cut out sandwich bread trees.
• Once the oven is preheated to 500F, using kitchen mitten or a towel take the baking sheet out of the oven, and put 2tbl butter on the sheet. Moving it around slightly to evenly distribute melting butter.
• Transfer bread slices to buttered sheet at once, sides brushed with olive oil mustard dressing facing up, along with the tree cut outs.
• Bake for 5 minutes, turning sandwich pieces once. They will be golden brown once done.
• Take the sheet with toasted bread out of the oven and place  the hot baking sheet  on top of the room temperature baking sheet you set aside before.
• Crack one egg into the each sandwich hole.You may have to slightly move the egg white around so it reaches all the cavities. Season with salt and pepper if desired.
• Place the sheets on the top rack in your oven, and bake for 5-6 minutes, until eggs are set but not rubbery. You want the top to giggle slightly.
• Take the bread out of the oven, let it sit on the sheet for 1 minutes,  then using  a flat spatula transfer to a plate and serve with apples and prosciutto ham.

Do you know what would be great to serve along these festive sandwiches?
