What food can I add formula to?

My 9month old had gone off of his milk and drinks in general. I'm trying to think of ways I can put his formula milk into foods so that he still is getting some but I can't think of anything else apart from eggs, avocado and weetabix to add it to. Has anyone got any suggestions? My LB has done BLW

Solids

Is it okay if I haven’t really started solids yet? I know most have done it already at this age. I tried two spoonfuls of purées & my son had no interest. He hated them. He is exclusively breastfeeding, so I haven’t been giving him anything other than milk after the failed purées.
