Ladle the tomato sauce into a small saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat.
Carefully crack the eggs directly into the simmering sauce, spacing them out in the pan.
Let the eggs cook in the sauce. You can gently spoon some of the hot sauce over the whites to help them set, being careful not to break the yolks.
Continue to simmer until the egg whites are fully cooked and the yolks are at your desired level of doneness (runny or firm).
Carefully spoon the eggs and sauce onto plates.
Serve immediately with slices of crusty bread for dipping.
