Set both your foreground and background to your
gradient...with these settings...

If you haven't got it already filled with your gradient, click
inside with your magic wand and fill with your colour or gradient...

On your duplicated layer, go to Effects....3d effects....Cutout....with
these settings...and click Ok
Layers....Merge....Merge Visable....

If you use a tube of something....copy and paste as new layer
onto the middle of your egg....
Set it to luminance with opacity around 65%....or

sometimes it looks even better with a blob blur on the right bottom as well
