Meanwhile, pre-heat the oven at 180/200 degrees. Next, boil two eggs for 10 minutes, take out the shell and cut them into wedges.
Beat the remaining five eggs in a bowl adding the milk, and seasoning with salt and pepper. Pour in the oven dish and add the tomato sauce!
Place the dish in the oven and cook for 20 minutes. At this point, arrange the slices of boiled eggs on the gratin and continue cooking for another 10 minutes.
