Rfv-sense "omelet". I have never heard of this and didn't find it in general dictionaries, but perhaps this usage is Belgian (the entry originally only had a Southern diminutive). ←₰-→ Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk) 10:27, 26 July 2019 (UTC)Reply

It depends on your definition of omelet. If you add a small amount of flour and milk, it will still be an omelet. If you add a lot, the result will be a cake. Where does it stop being an omelet? This eierkoek recipe calls it “neither an omelet nor a pannenkoek, but something in between”. This set of recipes for an omelet first uses the term eierkoek for an omelet in statu frigendi, and then proclaims a few lines later that an eierkoek is in a sense also an omelet except thicker. And here a Colombian omelet is said to be a kind of Spanish tortilla, which is called an eierkoek. Such pan-baked eierkoek is andere koek than the commercial pre-packaged eierkoek available in Dutch supermarkets. Perhaps a definition such as “omelet-like pancake“ can be used.  --Lambiam 11:21, 26 July 2019 (UTC)Reply
The cake sense has already been added, but feel free to modify it as you see fit. The definition of this sense simply read "omelet", which is a highly deficient definition if the cake was meant regardless of the semantics of "omelet". ←₰-→ Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk) 13:49, 29 July 2019 (UTC)Reply
