Duck breast seems too complicated to prepare at home, but it's actually pretty easy to cook, especially with Greensbury Duck Breasts delivered right to your door.
Ingredients
4 - 6oz Antibiotic-Free Duck Breasts
Salt & Pepper (to taste)
Directions
Preheat oven to 200 degrees.
With a sharp knife, lightly score the skin side of the duck breasts in a criss-cross pattern (be careful not to cut all the way through the fat and into the meat)
Season both sides with salt and pepper.
Place the duck breasts, skin side down, into a room temperature, oven-safe, skillet (cast iron works great) and place the skillet on the stove over low to medium-low heat.
Cook for 8-10 minutes to let the duck fat render (you're ready to flip when the skin is crispy and golden-brown color)
Flip the duck breasts and cook for 2 more minutes.
Keeping the duck breasts in the skillet place in the oven.
For medium-rare (our favorite), cook to an internal temperature of 145 degrees (approximately 10-12 minutes in most ovens). Add another 5 degrees to get the doneness to medium.
Remove duck breasts from oven, place on a cutting board and let rest for 8-10 minutes.
For serving
Slice diagonally into pieces that about 1/4inch thick.
Enjoy!
