Bunny Shaped Cheesy Quesadillas (Print Version)

Crispy, cheesy bunny-shaped quesadillas with colorful peppers and corn, ideal for fun festive snacks.

# Ingredient List:

→ 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 (red, yellow, or orange)
05 - 0.5 cup sweet corn kernels (canned or fresh cooked)
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)

# Recipe 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 the tortillas, yielding approximately 12 bunny 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 over each piece.
04 - Top each filling-covered tortilla with a second tortilla bunny. Brush the tops lightly with melted butter.
05 - Bake for 8-10 minutes until cheese is melted and tortillas are golden brown.
06 - Cool slightly, then embellish each quesadilla: position olive slices for eyes, carrot pieces for nose, and parsley or cilantro sprigs for whiskers. Press gently onto the warm surface to secure.
07 - Transfer to serving plates while warm. Serve alongside sour cream for dipping.
