Gorgonzola and Green Onion Popcorn

INGREDIENTS

4 quarts freshly popped corn
1/3 cup butter, at room temperature
3 ounces gorgonzola cheese, crumbled
2 tablespoons finely chopped green onions
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon salt

DIRECTIONS

Preheat the oven to 300 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil or a silicone baking sheet and set aside.

Put the popcorn in a large, clean paper bag or a washable muslin bag. In a small microwavable bowl, combine the butter and 2 ounces of the cheese; heat briefly until melted, about 15 seconds. Whisk in 1 tablespoon of the green onions, black pepper, and salt. Drizzle the butter mixture over the popcorn, fold over the top of the bag, and shake until the popcorn is coated and moist. .

Spread the popcorn evenly over the baking sheet and bake until the popcorn is dry, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove the popcorn from the oven, transfer to a large bowl, and top with the remaining cheese and green onions; toss gently to combine.
