- 4 slices deli turkey, ham, or cheese (optional)
- 1/2 cup shredded lettuce or spinach
- 1/4 cup grated carrots

Instructions
-
Prepare the Bread:
Use a bunny-shaped cookie cutter to cut out bunny shapes from the bread slices. You need two bunny-shaped slices per sandwich. -
Add the Spread:
Spread a thin layer of cream cheese (or your chosen spread) on each bread slice. Add mayonnaise or mustard if desired. -
Assemble the Sandwiches:
Layer deli meat or cheese, shredded lettuce, grated carrots, and cucumber slices on one slice of bread. Top with the second bread slice to complete the sandwich. -
Create Bunny Faces:
Use small raisins or olives as eyes by gently pressing them into the bread. Place a small baby carrot as the nose. -
Add the Ears:
Slice cucumber into thin strips to create the bunny ears. Insert them between the bread slices at the top of each sandwich. -
Serve:
Arrange the sandwiches on a plate and serve with fresh fruits or veggies for a delightful presentation.
Notes
- For a sweet twist, use peanut butter and jelly as the filling.
- Get creative with the decorations—use sliced radishes, olives, or peppers for facial features.
- These sandwiches are best made fresh but can be prepared up to 2 hours in advance if kept in the fridge.
