Chrissy’s Cooking Club Wins Jarlsberg Grilled Cheese Cook Off
A few “OMG Grilled Cheese” sandwiches being assembled by Chrissy’s Cooking Club during the Jarlsberg Grilled Cheese Cook-Off at 5 Boro PicNYC
The OMG Grilled Cheese was created by the students of this non-profit Bushwick campus farm that promotes from-scratch cooking, using ingredients grown in their community garden. The combination of Jarlsberg, queso fresco, grilled peppers and onions, served with a sofrito sauce,
collard greens and salad, was inspired by a secret family recipe of one of the students.
