I wonder what it's called in Austria
Probably something like topfenschnarkel.
Depending on where in Austria:
Kas, Käs or Kaas
Fromage - French (with other informal words such as "fromton" or "claquos")
Omelette du fromage.
The only French I know, thanks to Dexter's Laboratory.
It's also incorrect! The dish is omelette au fromage. That's because it's an omelette with cheese and not of cheese.

These are Americans we're talking about. Maybe it is an omelette of cheese?
ngl it's about half and half whenever I make one. 🖐️🫣
Disclaimer: not American, I just like cheese.
Damn it, Dee Dee!
Thank you, I knew what it meant to say, but my auto-translate (in my brain) pictured a disc of fried cheese initially, and I was wondering why it felt wrong. I know just enough French to get myself into trouble.
