Need baked egg recipes for a wheat-allergic child!

DS did a baked egg challenge last week and is no longer allergic to baked egg. But as he's allergic to wheat, it's quite tricky thinking of things I can give him with baked egg in them (as have been told to use it in his diet regularly now).

The cake I baked for the challenge was just a Victoria Sponge with rice flour instead of wheat, but I don't want to give him sugary cakes all the time as he's only 10 months old.

Does anyone have any good savoury recipes that involve well-cooked egg that don't have wheat in them? Presumably I can make savoury muffins with rice flour? (Baking powder has wheat in it, so they won't rise very much but DS won't mind!)

Or are there any wheat-free pasta brands that have egg in, as then I could avoid having to bake all the time!

Fish pie with chopped up, hard boiled egg in with the fish? So boiled then put in the oven?

These chocolate brownies are lovely, and keep reasonably well.

Have you found a cocoa powder that can be tolerated? If so, I'd suggest this swiss roll, but with a less rich filling. Or maybe switch the cocoa for rice flour, and make a jam / vanilla one?

I know those are mainly sweet, but yes, cakes and muffins freeze well (well, I've only tried wheat ones), and then defrost as required.

You can add egg yolk to make a cheese sauce richer, so I'm sure you could get away with adding beaten egg. Cauliflower cheese bake, potato gratin-ish sliced potatoes with a cheesy sauce would work. Check out recipes that might use egg as a binding agent for veg stuffed with rice etc and veg/meat patty/burgers.

Egg custard for pudding? Baked eggs en cocotte? Over cooked quiche- taking your point above. An oven baked (over cooked!) frittata or Spanish omelette?
