Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup popcorn kernels
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons mozzarella cheese powder (optional)
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.25 teaspoon white pepper
Instructions
Heat a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 3 to 4 corn kernels to test the heat.
Once the test kernels pop, add the remaining 1/2 cup of popcorn kernels and cover the pot with a lid. Shake the pot occasionally to ensure even popping.
When popping slows to a few seconds between pops, remove the pot from heat. Transfer the popped popcorn to a large bowl and set aside.
In a small saucepan, melt 3 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant but not browned.
Pour the garlic butter over the popped popcorn, tossing to coat evenly.
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese powder (if using), dried oregano, kosher salt, and white pepper over the popcorn. Toss well to combine.
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Bianca Pop!
