Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Duck

    Score the skin of the duck breasts in a criss-cross pattern, being careful not to cut into the meat. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Sear the Duck

    In a cold skillet, place the duck breasts skin side down. Turn the heat to medium and allow the fat to render for about 8-10 minutes until the skin is crispy and golden brown.

  3. 3

    Cook the Other Side

    Flip the duck breasts and cook for an additional 4-6 minutes, depending on your desired doneness. Remove the duck from the skillet and let it rest.

  4. 4

    Make the Sauce

    In the same skillet, add olive oil, minced garlic, and fresh thyme. Sauté until fragrant, then add balsamic vinegar and honey. Stir to combine and simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Slice the duck breasts and serve drizzled with the balsamic-honey sauce.
