Seems fancy but is really very easy to make!
Servings: 2 People
Ingredients
- 2 Duck Breasts
- Salt
- Pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees
- Rinse the duck breasts and pat dry with a paper towel. Using a sharp knife, score a criss-cross pattern into the duck fat (making sure not to cut the flesh). Season the duck with salt and pepper. Place duck breast, fat side down in a cold pan. Turn the heat to medium and let the duck fat render out. Occasionally tilt the pan to the side and spoon off the duck fat (save the duck fat in a sealable jar). Continue to render for about 10 minutes or until the duck is golden brown.
- Place the duck breast on a foil-lined baking sheet, fat side up. Roast the duck in the oven until the internal temperature reaches 130 degrees, about 10 minutes. Remove from the pan and tent with foil; let rest for 10-15 minutes (internal temp will reach 145).
- Slice and serve warm.
