I would make a parachute with the one sheet of paper, and crumble the other one to make a soft pillow underneath the egg. This way it will drop on the paper ball rather than directly on the floor.
So you would, crumble the paper and put the egg in the center, and then form a parachute with the other paper.
Another idea, is can you cook the egg? That might help in preventing breaking is that in the rules.
Good luck!

You want to crumple the paper into two wads, pack it on the heavy side of the egg and tape it all together. With all the weight on the one end, and the crumple effect on the paper, you should drastically dampen the impact.
