- Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and cook for 12–15 minutes, until the tomatoes have softened.
- Add the Eggs: Uncover and use the back of a spoon to make 4 small nests in the mixture. Crack one egg into each nest. Cover and cook for about 3 minutes, checking every 30 seconds afterward until the eggs are done to your liking.
- Finish & Serve: Sprinkle the chopped herbs over the top, then add the almond topping.
