1. During this scoring step, be sure to avoid cutting into the meat. As you score, you’ll note that the thickness of the skin varies depending on which end of the duck breast you’re working with. Pay special attention to this variation in thickness to avoid cutting into the meat. Because Moulard Duck Breast has such a thick layer of skin, it’s essential to cut many scoring lines into the breast: the more the better.

3. Rapidly brown the meat side. This step should take 15 to 30 seconds depending on the temperature of the pan.
4. Roast duck breast in the oven. Cook until internal temperature reaches 131 degrees F. This step should take 5 - 15 minutes.
