We all tend to veer towards weeknight meals that are not only deliciously satisfying, but that are also quick-to-the-table. With a plethora of Instagram posts, food websites, cooking shows and publications out there to steer us to just the right healthful weeknight meal, a unique selection is definitely available for every night of the week.

That said, on days where I might have a few extra minutes to plan and prep a tasty dinner for Scott and I, I get excited to make a classic culinary dish that maybe I haven’t tackled in a while. Case and point, these savory, perfectly puffed, golden brown Asparagus-Manchego Soufflés. Flecked with blanched asparagus tips and flavored with a touch of truffle oil, these beauties were a welcomed side to a simple seared salmon with caper-herb butter, and some ginger and jalapeno-glazed baby carrots. Prepare to be wow ‘ed.
