Truffle Popcorn with Parmesan (Printable Version)

Aromatic truffle oil meets fresh Parmesan on fluffy air-popped kernels

# What You'll Need:

→ Popcorn

01 - 1/2 cup popcorn kernels

→ Seasonings

02 - 2 tablespoons truffle oil, preferably white truffle oil
03 - 1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
04 - 1/2 teaspoon fleur de sel or fine sea salt
05 - Freshly ground black pepper to taste

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Air-pop the popcorn kernels according to your air popper's instructions. Transfer the popped corn to a large mixing bowl.
02 - While the popcorn is still warm, drizzle the truffle oil evenly over the popcorn. Toss gently to coat all pieces thoroughly.
03 - Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the popcorn. Toss again to ensure even distribution of the cheese.
04 - Season with fleur de sel and add freshly ground black pepper if desired. Serve immediately for maximum freshness and optimal flavor.

# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • Transforms five dollars worth of ingredients into something that tastes like it came from a gourmet cinema
  • The kind of snack that makes people pause and ask what you did differently
  • Ready in ten minutes flat but leaves a lasting impression
02 -
  • Truffle oil loses its potency quickly once opened, so store it in a cool dark place and use within six months
  • The popcorn must be warm when you add the oil and cheese, otherwise nothing sticks properly
  • Popcorn starts losing its ideal texture within an hour, so this is best made right before serving
03 -
  • Warm your serving bowl beforehand so the popcorn stays hot longer
  • If making ahead, keep the truffle oil separate and add it right before serving
