Eggs with Tomato Sauce

Boil until hard, three eggs; peel and cut the whites into strips and put these over the fire with tomato sauce and let them get quite hot. Put a layer of this on a hot dish with pieces of fried bread all around. Chop the yolks of the eggs, put a layer over the sauce and egg white, then more tomato and more chopped egg, and so on until the yolks of the eggs and the tomato sauce are all dished, having a layer of the yolks on top.
