The simplest and least game-affecting way is to pause, click "Open to LAN", make sure cheats are allowed, and use /give [your username] 122. You can then turn cheats back off by closing and re-opening the world. Personally, I punched it to teleport it away from the portal, then had it fall it onto a torch.

I feel like if you lose it, then you shouldn't 'cheat' to get it back, since it's no longer a vanilla world then. And what's all this talk about pistons, I just used a torch to get my dragon egg in the my last world, in the current one i've just left it there...
Ok just defeat the Ender Dragon to get the egg. If the egg goes into the portal, exit to the title screen, find your .minecraft folder and go to saves, go into the world, delete the DIM1 (the end dimension), go back into your world and see if the Ender Dragon respawns.
EDIT: To get the egg use a piston. Use the steps above if the egg goes into the portal by accident.
Actually you can go into creative with a torch. break the 2 bedrock under the egg. place a torch quickly and it drops the egg. Or you can use /give 122 if you use cheats, but use pistons if you do not want to use Cheats.
Fair enough. Well, if it helps you can do the following...
1. Open world to Lan and enable cheats.
2. Open creative inventory.
3. Grab the dragon egg and place it in survival inventory.
4. Switch back to survival. Problem solved.
Idk if it was in a recent update but this happened to me and my friend in 1.9 after on a server the guys pawned 2 drags, we killed 1 got the egg that 1 was mine, the other 1 fell in the portal, he was so mad until i jumped thru and to my suprise found the egg on the other side this was in 1.8.9 so not sure if this helps and the other way to get it is give it with a command btw.
I was hoping I would be able to avoid such an instance, but if that ends up being the only solution... So bet it I guess. Thanks for your help!
If anyone knows of any other solution that's different than the one above, feel free to share it!
To be fair, switching to creative in this case shouldn't be considered "cheating". You aren't awarding yourself an egg out of the blue, you are replacing the one that fell and got lost forever. The only alternative would be to start another world and being more careful with pistons.

Warning: Use sticky pistons! Or it won't work!
I think this post should be locked now.
Yep. Try to survive alot of TNT explosions without dying once!
Minecraft 1.9 is amazing.
I think you have to enter the code.

yes that is true but there is the /give cmd to get it
