04 - Season with fleur de sel and, if desired, a few grinds of black pepper.
05 - Serve immediately for maximum freshness and flavor.

# Cooking tips:

01 -
  • It transforms movie night into something that feels genuinely indulgent without any real effort.
  • The whole thing takes ten minutes, which means you can serve something impressive while your guests are still taking off their coats.
  • Truffle oil smells like walking through a forest after rain, and that's just sitting in a bowl.
02 -
  • Truffle oil is potent—if you use too much, it'll taste like you're eating perfume, so start conservatively and taste as you go.
  • The warmth of the popcorn matters because it helps the oil and cheese adhere properly instead of sliding off.
03 -
  • Grating your own Parmesan takes literally thirty seconds and changes everything about how this tastes, so don't skip it even when you're tired.
  • Keep your truffle oil in a cool, dark place and don't open it unless you're using it, because the aroma fades once it's exposed to air.
