Instructions

Slice the baguette.
Fry 2-3 tablespoons of butter in a medium-hot pan.
Place the bread slices in the hot butter and brown them on both sides. It will take about 2 minutes per side.
Remove and allow to cool.
Slice the mozzarella.
Use the medium round cutter to shape the bunny’s body out of mozzarella and the small round cutter for the face.
Make the ears out of mozzarella with the petal cookie cutter or just cut this part by hand.
Top the crostini with pesto.
Use sesame seeds for the eyes and nose.
Cut a grape tomato at a slant and then halve each piece symmetrically.
Now match the halves so you have two flat hearts.
Place a tomato heart on top of each bunny.
Serve.
