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
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Pour the garlic butter over the popped popcorn, tossing to coat evenly.
Step 6
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese powder (if using), dried oregano, kosher salt, and white pepper over the popcorn. Toss well to combine.
Step 7
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Bianca Pop!
