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.This makes a great breakfast, brunch or snack. You can use any egg really, but a duck egg tends to have a larger yolk, so makes for a richer dish.
4 crumpets, cut in half vertically
4 thick slices of good-quality cooked ham
4 x ½cm-thick slices of Black Cow cheese, cut vertically
5 ducks' eggs
A little rapeseed oil for cooking
Toast the crumpets on what was the outer side. Preheat the oven to 180C.
Put the ham and cheese on the bottom layer of the crumpets, place the tops on and warm through in the oven for about 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese melts.
Meanwhile, fry the ducks' eggs in the oil, lightly seasoning them as they are cooking. Serve the crumpets immediately with an egg on top.
