Introduction
Ever since Lockdown, my lunches have not differed a whole lot. I usually have either a homemade Cheese Quesadilla or a grilled cheese. However, this has caused my lunches to taste a bit bland due to having them repeatedly. This experiment will show how I solved this problem.
Hypothesis
If I add butter to my Cheese Quesadilla, then it may taste better. My reasoning is that I add butter to Grilled Cheese to enhance the flavor, so It may have a similar effect here.
Materials Tortilla
Mexican blend Cheese (Kroger Brand) Butter
Knife
Panini press
Procedure

Results
As shown by the charts above, The quesadilla with butter was tastier than the one without butter
Conclusion/Discussion
My hypothesis was correct. By adding butter to my quesadilla, I made it taste better. I believe it was because Butter contains a lot of salt, which is commonly used to enhance the flavors of foods. However, there may be more factors to this, so If i were to do this experiment again, I
might add in different things to run more trials, like adding in different vegetables or meat. If I do this, then I might get an even tastier Quesadilla.
