I would wait for peanut butter, not just because of the allergy risk but because it can be a choking hazard.
Gabby pretty much eats bits of whatever we have, she loves chicken and bean enchiladas(without cheese, the poor girl). I do try and watch how much salt she is getting, and then of course eggs, dairy, peanut butter, and soy. But other then that, we just let her have what she wants. She even had some curried chicken the other night

It's only the egg white, you could give her egg yolks. Personally we are just avoiding them all together.

We have no food allergies in my family, and all my kids have eaten peanut butter (creamy only and only a tiny bit to avoid the choking thing), eggs, and everything else we eat by 9-10 months. We just cut it up tiny and if I can, I save rice or noodles out before I add sauce, but that's really for the mess factor. 
There are standard recommendations, then there are recommendations for those who do have allergy issues in their family. If you have no allergy issues in your family and you are comfortable doing it, she can probably eat whatever you eat, except for maybe hard to chew meats.
I second Sarah's pizza cutter suggestion. I use mine to cut up everything.

The guide they gave me at the hospital solids class says these are some suggestions for 9-12 months:
Egg yolk
Toast
Yogurt
Soft Cheese (cottage cheese or ricotta)
chicken, lamb, beef, pork, fish, egg yolk, tofu, legumes
Chedder/Mozzarella may be grated or cut up small
Crackers
Pancakes/waffles
Cheerios
Soft pasta or rice
Cooked carrot slices, broccoli, green beans, peas, sweet potatos, cauliflower, zucchini
Kiwi, melon, mango, banana, peaches, pears, grapes (cut in quarters)

Chelsea,
As long as the peanut butter is on toast/in a sandwich, it shouldn't be a choking hazard. Straight pb is pretty sticky and that makes it a hazard. If it is thinly spread, it is good -- it is also high fat and has protein, so that is good, too. You could probably do cheese/yogurt also. Rice, pasta, bread, bananas are good.
Generally, as long as it is softer it should be okay.

Same here. I also figured that since I ate cashew nuts by the ton when I was pregnant, my babies were unlikely to have a nut allergy.
Cheese omelettes, cut up into small bits, were also a favourite with my two (and easy to whip up quickly).

yeah....Ryanne will stay away from things that I don't stay away from...we have food allergies of corn syrup, so we tend to stay away from things like sugary things or things with CS in it....not really things like what she will do/is doing with Gabby.
See, my thing with this is that having a food allergy makes you more susceptible to ALL the top allergens, not just the one which is known. Things like a family history of asthma, eczema, and skin reactions also increase your chances of allergies.
It's a hard call to make. For us, knowing that allergies are on the rise we probably won't introduce things any earlier with the next baby. And really, "standard recommendations" are getting longer and longer because of the humongous rise in anaphylactic peanut and egg reactions.
