Parmesan Thyme Popcorn with Browned Butter

This parmesan thyme popcorn with browned butter recipe is a great way to dress up plain popcorn for a party.
This popcorn is lightly buttered with browned butter flavored with minced garlic and fresh thyme and then tossed with freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
The browned butter brings a complex flavor to the usual melted butter on popcorn. It's also fabulous in sweets such as browned butter chocolate chunk candy cookies.
Because you are making just a small amount of butter, the process to brown it will go pretty quickly. Watch it very closely and use a light colored pan so that you can see the butter changing color. When the butter is a medium brown, remove it from the heat, stir in the garlic and thyme, and pour the butter into a bowl to stop the cooking.
Ingredients:
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon minced fresh thyme
- 14 cups freshly popped plain popcorn
- 3 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
