Notes
- Choose soft, fresh bread that holds shape well when cut with cookie cutter, preventing crumbling during preparation.
- Apply cream cheese thinly and evenly to prevent soggy sandwich edges, ensuring clean, crisp texture.
- Pat grated carrots and cucumber slices dry with paper towel to prevent sandwich from becoming wet and losing structural integrity.
- Swap ingredients for gluten-free bread, vegan cheese, or plant-based proteins to accommodate different dietary restrictions without compromising cute bunny design.
