Preparation Steps
1
Score the skin of the duck breast in a crosshatch pattern with a sharp knife. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper. TIP: Scoring the skin helps it to render fat and crisp up during cooking.
2
Heat a grill pan over medium heat. Place the duck breast skin-side down in the hot pan and cook for 5-6 minutes, until the skin is golden brown and crispy. Flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes. TIP: Avoid overcooking the duck breast to keep it juicy and tender.
3
Before the end of cooking, place the cheddar cheese slices on top of the duck breast and cover the pan to allow the cheese to melt.
4
Toast the cut sides of the hamburger buns in the grill pan.
5
Prepare the vegetables: slice the tomatoes and red onion, and wash the arugula.
6
Assemble the burger: Spread orange marmalade on the bottom bun, top with arugula, the cheese-covered duck breast, tomato slices, and red onion. Cover with the top bun.
7
Serve hot with a fresh salad or french fries. TIP: A little extra orange marmalade adds a special touch to the dish.
