Bunny Shaped Quesadillas (Printable)

Cheesy, crispy bunny-shaped quesadillas with veggies, perfect for festive snacks or kid-friendly lunches.

# What You Need:

→ Quesadillas

01 - 6 large flour tortillas
02 - 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
03 - 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
04 - 0.5 cup diced bell peppers, mixed colors
05 - 0.5 cup sweet corn kernels
06 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

→ Decoration

07 - 12 black olive slices
08 - 6 baby carrots
09 - 6 sprigs fresh parsley or cilantro
10 - Sour cream for serving, optional

# How-To Steps:

01 - Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Using a bunny-shaped cookie cutter or template with a sharp knife, cut bunny shapes from tortillas, yielding approximately 12 shapes (2 per quesadilla).
03 - Place half of the tortilla bunnies on the prepared baking sheet. Distribute cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, bell peppers, and corn evenly across each shape.
04 - Top each filled tortilla bunny with a second tortilla bunny shape. Brush tops lightly with melted butter.
05 - Bake for 8 to 10 minutes until cheese melts and tortillas achieve golden color.
06 - Allow to cool slightly, then decorate while warm: position olive slices as eyes, baby carrot pieces as noses, and parsley or cilantro sprigs as whiskers. Press gently to adhere. Serve warm with sour cream for dipping.
