    Homemade popcorn is fresh and delicious and always a family favorite for game or movie nights. Do you ever crave a more adventurous popcorn, something more than butter and salt?  We love making big bowls of Rosemary and Asiago Cheese Popcorn, it's savory, cheesy, and a little salty.  Honestly, it's a bit addicting.

    Grating an aged Asiago cheese over warm popcorn adds a bit of nutty flavor and as it melts it gets into all the nooks and crannies of the popped corn to add a delicious savory flavor.

    What is Asiago Cheese

    • This Italian cheese is from northeastern Italy is made from cow's milk and has a creamy nutty flavor
    • Fresh Asiago is a semi-soft cheese with a mild flavor
    •  Aged Asiago is a dry cheese with a sharp flavor that depends on the time that it has aged
    • Make sure when buying Asiago that it has the certification of PDO with it along with the Asiago stamp on the cheese wheel rind, this way you know you are buying authentic Italian cheese.

    If you have some unexpected guest this is a perfect snack to make, everyone can dig into some warm popcorn.  Having company for the big game, this popcorn is the solution for that too.  Needing a snack just for yourself, you can make a small batch of popcorn and enjoy a bowl just for you.

    I happen to have several varieties of popcorn and today I am using a Black Jewell popcorn.  This is one of my favorites for flavor and it pops into small kernels with thin hulls and truthfully, I love the color.

    Simple ingredients for cheese popcorn

    • Popcorn
    • Asiago Cheese
    • Rosemary
    • Olive Oil
    • Salt

    Black jewel popcorn and Asiago Cheese

    Let's get to poppin

    • Use a 3-quart saucepan with a handle and a lid.
    • Set the pan on the stove at medium-high and add 2 tbls. of oil
    • Let the oil get hot then drop in a few kernels of corn and when they start popping add the rest of the corn.
    • Put the lid on the pan and wait for the corn to start popping then let pop over medium heat. If you can keep the lid slightly ajar it lets stem out.
    • Shake to pan gently over the burner until you don't hear the corn popping.
    • Pour the popped corn into a big bowl and add the grated asiago, chopped rosemary, and salt.

    Make sure you have a big container to toss in all the toppings so you can stir it up.  And this is super important with making popcorn

    make sure to add salt, otherwise, you will just have a bland bowl of popcorn.

    Calories 169 kcal

    Ingredients
      

    • 2-3 tablespoons canola oil can also use coconut oil
    • ½ cups black popcorn use ⅓ cup yellow popcorn
    • ⅓ cups Asiago cheese grated
    • 2 tablespoons rosemary finely chopped
    • 2 tablespoons olive oil
    • salt to taste

    Instructions
     

    • Place the saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the oil and heat.
    • Place a few kernels of corn in the pot and when they start popping add the rest of the popcorn.
    • Cover the pan with the lid and gently shake the pan over the burner while the corn is popping.  
      If you can keep the lid slightly off the pan the steam can escape and the popcorn will be crispier.
    • Listen for the corn to stop popping then remove from the heat and immediately pour into a large serving bowl.
    • Pour the olive oil over the popped corn then sprinkle with the rosemary, cheese, and salt to taste. Stir and enjoy.

    Notes

    Store any leftover popcorn in a ziplock bag.

      We've come to love popcorn as a fun snack as we're watching a movie, but usually, just grab bags of kettle corn to pop. Rosemary and Asiago sound like it would be super yummy, though. We'll definitely be trying this next time we make popcorn.
