Hint 1:

The answer do not require any physics principle nor any calculation

Hint 2:

You don't need any extra item to achieve this objectives

Hint 3:

"Raw egg", so you can't cook it

Hint 4:

2 meter is important

    $\begingroup$ Would we catch it after it has fallen to 2 meters before reaching the ground? $\endgroup$ – Ak. May 3 '19 at 2:07

Probably:

Drop the egg 10 meters. After .64 seconds, the egg falls 2 meters, but doesn't break. Yet.

Alternative(s):

Drop the egg .1 meters 20 times. Cumulative falling distance is 2 meters.

You just need to

choose a suitable egg. An insect egg would work, or a turtle egg, or a dinosaur egg ...
