Answer

Our almost 3yr old was allergic to dairy eggs, wheat and nuts. Thankfully she's now pretty much outgrown all except a tree nut anaphylaxis, but those first 2.5yrs were interesting. Egg replacer was our friend 😊

Unfortunately, yes my almost 3 year old daughter is still allergic to eggs (and most nuts). Doctor says most kids outgrow the egg allergy by 4 so we are excited about getting to that day! It is challenging to say the least. Here are a few tips and ideas but let me say that before you try anything you must always read the ingredients and any warnings about shared equipment/facilities.  I've eaten things a bunch of times and then the company changed the warnings!😮
I found a bread that has no egg, no honey (she was under 1 when we found out) and no nut warnings and we use that a lot - Pepperidge Farm Oatmeal bread. We do butter toast most days for breakfast, I make her cold cut sandwiches with it for lunch, and pizza toast for lunch and dinner.
For breakfast she eats a ton of fresh fruit, yogurt, chicken sausage, sometimes bacon, sometimes baby food pouches that are meat or plant protein based so she's getting protein. Sprout brand has good protein variety pouches. I just found an egg replacent product in Earth Fare that I'm excited about trying to make pancakes and other breakfast stuff.
Lunch and dinner I try to cook stuff we can all eat - varieties of baked chicken, rice, pork and beef roast. Pasta - most brands give a shared equipment warning for eggs but I've found the gluten free varieties often do not have that warning because they use separate equipment to ensure gluten free - she loves pasta with red sauce. I make soups with rice stick noodles instead of regular noodles. Chipotle actually uses no egg or nuts in the restaurant so it is a go to if I need to get her food while we are out. Helmans makes a good tasting Vegan sandwich spread you can use instead of mayo. And I make quick salad dressings a lot or read the labels super carefully - some use egg.
I've found some go-to quick meal ideas too - Perdue fresh chicken nuggets, frozen diced grilled chicken breast, Costco sells a frozen yakisoba noodle dish that's yummy and has no egg, they also have a frozen chicken fried rice that amazingly has no egg. Some of their prepared, packaged meals are very good too - beef roast, mediterranean chicken skewers, spring rolls, chicken burgers, chicken tikka masala.
For snacks - veggie straws, gold fish crackers,  some potato chips, sun chips, puffs (she still likes them), fruit, pouches.
I hope this helps! I always always always leave the house with a cooler packed with at least 2 meals and 3 or pouches, water and milk so we can make it through most of the day without having to worry about whether she can eat something. I carry clorox wipes, hand sanitizing wipes, and disposable placemats to use anywhere she has to eat. Our 11 month will be tested when he's 1 before we can give him any.

I make this muffin recipe for my kids and they love it. I make them as full size muffins instead of the mini muffins. I also freeze them and pull one out when I want to give her something different for breakfast. I just pop one in the microwave and defrost it on half power for about 45 seconds. The recipe does call for one egg, but that is easily substituted or left out.

Answer

I have no tips for the egg allergy but I feel your pain. My son has a dairy and gluten allergy so we haven’t had those in 8 months. We thought he might have a soy allergy too so we weren’t eating that for 6 months either 😳 eggs are one of the few things we can eat lol there’s a lot of food out there without the top 8 allergens. We tried ALOT to find what works for us.
