Using a bunny-shaped cookie cutter, cut out a bunny shape in the center of each bread slice. Set the cut-out pieces aside for later use.
Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
Place one slice of bread in the skillet and crack a large egg into the bunny-shaped hole. Sprinkle a pinch of salt and black pepper over the egg.
Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the egg starts to set on the bottom. If desired, sprinkle a little shredded cheddar cheese on top of the egg at this stage.
Carefully flip the bread slice using a spatula, ensuring the egg stays in place. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the egg is cooked to your liking (adjust for runny or firm yolk preferences).
Remove the sandwich from the skillet and set it aside. Repeat the process with the second slice of bread, adding the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet.
Optional: Toast the bunny-shaped cutouts in the skillet for about 1 minute on each side, until golden and crisp.
Garnish the sandwiches with carrot slices to resemble bunny ears, and sprinkle with fresh parsley or chives if using.
Serve warm and enjoy your fun-filled Bunny in the Hole Sandwich!
