Conclusions and Clinical Relevance Resolution of egg allergy takes place over many years, with children outgrowing allergy to well‐cooked egg approximately twice as quickly as they outgrow allergy to uncooked egg. There were no severe reactions to well‐cooked egg challenge, and adrenaline was not required. Our data support initiation of home reintroduction of well‐cooked egg from 2 to 3 years of age in children with previous mild reactions and no asthma. Resolution continues to occur in older children, so that despite an earlier positive challenge, attempts at reintroduction should be continued.
