Should clafoutis taste eggy?

It's a little eggy, not really sweet, and is typically loaded with seasonal fruit.
The technique is really quite simple, not much different that that of a frittata.
The resulting cake/custard is dense and quite rich, but it isn’t too sweet, so the cherries are free to fill that role.
My guess is that the flour in the mixture stabilizes the custard enough so that the reheated clafouti doesn’t turn mushy or watery.

I’ve met them in all different forms from the very eggy, almost like a fruit-filled omelette type, to firm custardy tart and others that are more of a Dutch pancake or Yorkshire pudding texture.
I think it very much depends on how your granny used to make hers.
