Foolproof Savory Cheese Soufflé

Your Recipe of the Day No Images? Click here Savory Cheese Soufflé A classic of the French kitchen, soufflés have struggled under the bad reputation of being difficult for far too long. The truth is a soufflé is easy to make and not nearly as sensitive as people often say. Yes, you can open the oven door; no, you don't need to walk on eggshells while making it (though you should try to keep the eggshells out of the soufflé mixture).

Your Next Weeknight Meal Plan (And Weekend Cooking Project!)

What to Cook Next Week No Images? Click here   After a busy day, the last thing you want to do is spend hours in the kitchen pulling dinner together. Luckily, we have a wealth of delicious weeknight meals that will have you in and out of the kitchen in one hour or less. Meet our weekly dinner plan: Five easy dinners for five busy weeknights, all sent in advance so you can get your shopping done ahead of time. Cook along with us!   Your Week Ahead MONDAY Pressure Cooker Chunky Beef and Bean Chili Unlike a lot of chili recipes that call for short cooking times but deliver lackluster flavor, this classic chunky beef-and-bean recipe saves time the right way: by using a pressure cooker, not by cutting corners.   TUESDAY One-Skillet Salmon With Curried Leeks and Yogurt-Herb Sauce Ready for a red meat break? Prepare this simple salmon recipe with delicate, flavorful leeks. The best part: It all cooks in just one skillet, leaving minimal dish-washing after a busy Tuesday at work. WEDNESDAY  Oysters Oaxacafeller We aren't the only ones who think a big batch of oysters makes for a perfect weeknight meal, right? A twist on the classic oysters Rockefeller, these tasty bites are packed with cilantro, lime zest, and Mexican crema. Sasha, the pun-master, calls them oysters Oaxacafeller. THURSDAY Spaghetti Aglio e Olio (Pasta in Garlic and Oil Sauce) One of the most basic pasta sauces, aglio e olio uses just garlic and olive oil (and maybe a pinch of red pepper flakes for heat). It sounds too simple to be good, but it's among the best. Pair it with a nice glass of wine for a perfect Thursday night in. FRIDAY Baked Saffron Risotto With Mozzarella and Crispy Topping​ Surviving the polar vortex calls for this deeply rich and comforting casserole of sorts. Risotto, béchamel, cheese, a crisp topping—It doesn't get much better than that. PS: This one takes a bit longer than an hour, but it's worth it.      Your Weekend Project Ah, the weekend. Visions of time-consuming kitchen endeavors dancing in your head all week long, and finally you have the time to pursue them. But which one to choose? Let us guide your efforts with what we're taking on over the weekend.  Easy Ham and Cheese Scones​ These quick scones are perfect on their own. They're even better when dunked into a super-creamy Nordstrom-inspired tomato soup. Whip 'em both up Saturday morning and devour them all weekend long.     Serious Eats 88 35th St Ste 602 Brooklyn, NY 11232-2017 Click Preferences to control which emails you receive from Serious Eats.

Click here Tacos de Canasta (Basket Tacos for a Party or Potluck)  Tacos may not seem like the kind of food that you should assemble an hour before eating, which is why you might not think of them as a particularly good potluck dish. But that's probably because you haven't encountered tacos de canasta, a special variety of taco sold by bicycle vendors in Mexico that are made in advance and get better as they sit. This is the potluck taco you've been waiting for.
