What is the defining characteristic of custards?
Quiche is essentially a custard pie, is it not?

has some interesting factoids.

My gut feeling is that the difference between scrambled eggs and
custard is mostly texture, and perhaps the addition of unprocessed
dairy.

Oh! Then maybe my idea of exactly what a "custard" is, is a bit off.

I was thinking of custard as in the filling of a custard or chess  
pie, not something like scrambled eggs. Maybe something resembling a  
pudding. However, that is still not anything like an omelette or  
scrambled eggs. Hmmm.
