Show your Mom (or Grandma, God-Mother, Aunt, Wife, Sister, etc) some love this Mother's Day and prepare her a meal she won't soon forget. With your secret weapon in the backyard, you can prepare some gourmet cuisine for your lovely lady's particular pallette. This quiche is filled with the trifecta of fancy schmancy things that your Mom is sure to love: sun-dried tomatoes, artichoke hearts, and Parmesan cheese (lots of it)! The delicate texture of the creamy eggs is perfectly complemented by the salty artichoke hearts and robust, almost sweet, flavor of the sun-dried tomatoes.
Did we mention it tastes absolutely divine, takes just a few minutes to toss together, and looks absolutely beautiful fresh off the grill? Bonus! Serve with some yummy fresh fruit and a side of gratitude for all of the things Mom has done for you over the years and you'll both have a meal you'll always remember.
