When the air cools it retracts creating a vacuum. The Vacuum then pulls the egg into the bottle. Since the vacuum acts equally across the surface of the egg, it is able to gently but quickly pull the egg through the opening without breaking it... most of the time.

Can an egg be forced into a bottle pushed by air pressure only?

Certainly! It is a common experiment. Take peeled hard boiled egg. Find a wide mouthed bottle that the egg can sit on without falling into it. A Frappicino bottle is about the right size. Take a piece of paper, about the size of the piece of toilet paper. Light it on fire and drop it into the bottle. As soon as the fire goes out, set the egg on the mouth. As the air inside cools, the egg will be pushed into the bottle by the air pressure.
