Step 1: Score the skin of the duck breasts in a crosshatch pattern, season both sides with salt and pepper.
Step 2: In a cold skillet, place the duck breasts skin side down, then turn on the heat to medium; this will render the fat and crisp the skin beautifully. Cook for 6-8 minutes until the skin is golden brown.
Step 3: Flip the duck breasts and cook for an additional 5-6 minutes for medium-rare, then remove from heat and allow to rest.
Step 4: In a small saucepan, melt the compound butter over low heat and add chopped thyme, minced garlic, and rosemary, stirring for 2 minutes until fragrant.
Step 5: Slice the duck breasts and serve drizzled with the herb-infused truffle butter.
