Close fit to the bottle opening- the lit match vacum soemtimes works, but the fit has to be very close!
Usually you soak a hard-boiled egg in vinegar for a few days to eat away most of the calcium and leave connective tissues. Then you do the match bit and it sucks right in!
Or cheat and use a BIG bottle, or a SMALL egg!

If the opening is not too much smaller than the egg a vacuum can be developed inside the bottle to draw the egg in. Or you can soak the egg for days in a brine solution whereby it becomes very rubbery. You can then press it into the bottle. If you heat the bottle the opening will expand, then by placing the egg over the opening you can stop air from rushing in and create a vacuum as the bottle cools. A raw egg MAY shatter either by passing through the neck or impacting on the bottom of the bottle. The egg must be ALMOST the size of the opening AND a perfect seal must be established.

I don't know what you mean by "it", but...
If you want to put the egg into the bottle without breaking the egg, saw off the end of the bottle and put the egg in.
If you want to put the egg into the bottle without breaking the bottle, cook the egg, then cut it up and shove it into the bottle.
Or you can do the whole match/vacuum thing.

put a lit match in a bottle and cover the bottle with the egg.
