Bunny-Shaped Cheesy Quesadillas (Printable)

Crispy, cheesy bunny-shaped quesadillas filled with bell peppers and corn for a fun snack or lunch.

# What you'll 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, assorted 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 dipping, optional

# Method:

01 - Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Using a bunny-shaped cookie cutter or template, cut bunny silhouettes from tortillas. You should obtain approximately 12 bunny shapes, yielding 2 shapes per quesadilla.
03 - Arrange half of the tortilla bunnies on the prepared baking sheet. Distribute cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, diced bell peppers, and corn kernels evenly across each shape.
04 - Top each filled tortilla bunny with a second tortilla bunny shape. Brush the upper surface lightly with melted butter.
05 - Bake for 8 to 10 minutes until cheese melts completely and tortillas achieve a golden color.
06 - Allow quesadillas to cool slightly. Press olive slices gently onto the warm quesadilla for eyes, position a baby carrot piece for the nose, and arrange parsley or cilantro sprigs for whiskers.
07 - Transfer to serving plate and present warm alongside sour cream for dipping.
