# 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 (red, yellow, or orange)

# How to Make It:

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 to yield approximately 12 bunny shapes (2 per quesadilla).
03 - Place half of the tortilla bunnies on the prepared baking sheet. Distribute cheddar, mozzarella, bell peppers, and corn evenly across each shape.
04 - Top each filled bunny with a second tortilla bunny shape. Lightly brush tops with melted butter.
05 - Bake for 8 to 10 minutes until cheese melts and tortillas achieve golden color.
06 - Allow quesadillas to cool slightly. Decorate with olive slices for eyes, baby carrot pieces for noses, and parsley or cilantro sprigs for whiskers. Press decorations gently onto warm quesadillas to adhere.
07 - Serve warm with sour cream on the side for dipping.
