Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

These baked eggs are lovely to serve for a late-night supper with nothing more than a little green salad, a plate of good ham and some warmed bread.

4 very fresh organic free-range eggs
2 tbsp double cream or crème fraîche
50g/2oz Parmesan
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

You will need four little porcelain ramekins for this dish. Start by heating your oven to 180C/350F/Gas4, then crack one egg into each ramekin, spoon over the cream, season with salt, sprinkle with Parmesan and finish with a generous grinding of black pepper.

Once the oven is warm, carefully transfer the ramekins on to a flat baking tray and place on the middle shelf of the oven. Cook for eight minutes, remove from the oven and serve immediately.
