As I’ve gotten older, I’ve learned to appreciate more the time I get to spend with my mother and the time she and her granddaughter get to spend together. It isn’t so much the theater or the trips to the spa that are special so much as it is the simpler things like brunch on a Sunday afternoon. With this weekend being Mother’s Day, this is a great way to tell mom thanks, for everything. It’s simple enough that you still have time for a walk down memory lane, but elegant enough for her special day.

Notes
This dish can be modified to suit everyone’s taste. Just change the cheese and add whatever vegetables or meat will suit your guests. One of my other favorite combinations is blanched spinach, Prosciutto and cheddar.
