# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It takes five minutes and transforms popcorn into something that tastes restaurant-worthy without any pretension.
  • The combination of truffle oil, Parmesan, and fleur de sel creates a flavor profile so complete you won't miss butter or excessive salt.
  • It's the kind of snack that makes people ask what you did differently, and you get to smile knowing it's almost embarrassingly simple.
02 -
  • Don't let your truffle oil sit for more than a few seconds before tossing—it will pool at the bottom of the bowl and create unevenly flavored popcorn.
  • The warm popcorn is your friend; it helps every ingredient cling and meld, so don't wait or let it cool before seasoning.
03 -
  • Grate your Parmesan right before cooking so it's fresh and has the best texture for clinging to the warm popcorn.
  • Start with less truffle oil than you think you need and taste as you go—its flavor is intense and a little goes a long way.
