The goal of this study is to test the safety and feasibility of a change in management approach for infants with newly diagnosed egg allergy. Infants with newly diagnosed egg allergy will have egg introduced via a gradual and graded home based approach known as an "egg ladder" supervised by a dietitian. The main questions this study aims to answer are how safe and feasible are home-based dietitian-led "egg ladders" as a treatment pathway to achieve tolerance of egg for newly diagnosed infants with egg allergy.
