Wash the meat, dab dry and make a diamond-shaped incision in the skin. Season duck breast with salt and pepper and fry with the skin side in a pan at medium heat for about 5 minutes. Turn the breast and fry for another 2 minutes. Place in an ovenproof dish and cook in a preheated oven (electric cooker: 175 °C/ convection oven: 150 °C/ gas: see manufacturer) for another 12 minutes.
Sort the salad, wash and shake dry. Mix cream cheese and cranberries. Drain the beetroot in a sieve. Take the meat out of the oven, let it rest for a short time and cut into slices. Spread slices of bread with cream cheese, cover with salad, beetroot and duck slices
