Sometimes you really should keep it simple, and I think Mother's Day is one of those days. Set out some delicious cheeses and berries, complemented by some haricots verts and gratinated goat cheese with olives. Serve everything with bread and wine. A perfect evening for me.

Place the cheese in an oven-proof dish and top with olives, thyme, and olive oil. Gratinate in the oven at 225 degrees for about 10 minutes.


Blanched Haricots Verts

Boil the haricots verts in salted water for about 5 minutes, they should have a little bit of chewiness. Drain and season them with salt, then top them with roasted hazelnuts.
