Directions

1 Heat oven to 375°F. Wash egg shells carefully; dry completely.
2 Separate dough into 12 breadsticks. Roll each to form 8-inch rope. Twist 2 ropes together. Shape into a circle on ungreased cookie sheet; pinch ends together firmly. Repeat to form 6 breadstick circles. For easy removal from nests, spray each egg with nonstick cooking spray. Place an egg in center of each circle.
3 Bake at 375°F. for 16 to 18 minutes or until breadsticks are golden brown. Let stand 5 minutes before serving to allow eggs to set.*
4 Meanwhile, tint frosting to desired pastel color with a small amount of food color.
5 Spread frosting on baked breadstick nests; sprinkle with candy sprinkles. To eat, remove eggs from nests. Cut eggs in half and scoop out cooked egg, or peel eggs.

This is a perfect substitute recipe for Italian pupa con l'ovo for Easter.....colored eggs drizzled w/icing and lightly dusted w/colored sugars! Getting a bit too old to make the sweet bread from scratch. Thank you Pillsbury!!!

Ick. Eggs and frosting, at least in this manner, don't mix.
