Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 10 cups popped popcorn Freshly popped corn is recommended.
  • 3 tbsp butter (melted) You can substitute with olive oil or coconut oil for a healthier option.
  • 1 tsp truffle oil If unavailable, try garlic or herb-infused oil.
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan (grated) Grana Padano or Pecorino Romano can be used as alternatives.
  • Salt Add to taste. Consider using sea salt or flavored salt.
  • Fresh chives Can substitute with green onions or parsley.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Gather all ingredients and tools: a large bowl for mixing, a small bowl for combining the butter and truffle oil, and a spatula or wooden spoon.
  2. If popping the corn yourself, follow the instructions on your popcorn maker to achieve fluffy, unburnt popcorn. Measure out ten cups and place them in your large bowl.
  3. In a small bowl, pour the melted butter and add the teaspoon of truffle oil. Stir gently until well combined.
Mixing
  1. Drizzle the butter and truffle oil mixture over the popcorn, using a spatula to gently toss and coat every piece.
  2. Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese and salt over the popcorn and toss again until well-distributed.
Serving
  1. Chop the fresh chives and sprinkle generously over the popcorn. Give one last gentle toss and serve immediately for the best taste.

Notes

Store leftover popcorn in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. Best enjoyed fresh to maintain crispness. Avoid overheating butter and truffle oil when mixing.
