Make Your Own Grilled Cheese

Grilled cheese is a crispy golden brown grilled sand that is cheesy, gooey, and melts in your mouth. When making an abstract grilled cheese, timing is very important. You must have everything ready when assembling the sandbox. This was a difficulty for me, but it worked out in the end. I made a spinach gouda grilled cheese; additionally, I added some meats like bacon and ham. I also added some onions, which really added great flavor. Overall, it was delicious. I minced my onion because I liked the flavor, but I would rather not bite into a chunk of it. For my spinach, I chopped it and sautéed it. My bacon was cooked to a perfect crispy-to-soft ratio. I personally grilled both sides of the bread, then added all the ingredients. but I think that my grilled cheese could be more fluffy as a whole. I really squished it down, which was a downfall of mine. I would definitely not squish it down next time. *****

Making And Sharing Reflection

During this lab, I was fully active and was prepared to cook my own grilled cheese. my recipe made sense and I was fully able to do this lab without trouble. I demonstrated the ability to use a knife, skillet, and stove and had all my timing down for adding each ingredient. if I were at home I would 100% be able to cook this for my family. Maybe for a family lunch sometime this summer.

Core Competency Reflection

Creative Thinking: During this lab, I was all on my own. This led to me being pushed to some of my limits. At times I was unsure and confused about the next steps but I managed to use my critical thinking to help myself through obstacles that occurred. I remained cool and attacked the problem with reason.

Personal Awareness And Responsibility: being on my own I had to be very self-reliant. I had no one else to ask questions or anyone to give me a hand with something. for this lab, I knew this so I made sure I had everything prepped (mise en place). I made sure that everything that i needed to personally do to help the results of my grilled cheese was done.
