I am in TX and have had both fruit and meat/cheese kolaches. There is a Czech bakery off the highway halfway between Dallas and Austin that has the most amazing kolaches. I wanted to fill my freezer with the pumpkin cream cheese ones.
The original Czech ones are the flat fruit/jam topped ones. That's where the word comes from. If you see them anywhere but Texas, that's what they will be.
Here, someone started calling sausage rolls kolaches at some point, and it stuck. Now you can get them will all sorts of savory fillings rolled inside a slightly sweet dough. Yummy stuff.

My step father is Czech, his parents are immigrants and this is one of his pet peeves. Per his family, kolaches are never the pigs in a blanket/sausage roll things. Only the flat rolls filled with fruits, cheeses, poppy seeds or chocolate are actual kolaches. His mother pronounces them as you do. We are in Texas.

The bakery in Hillsboro?? I went to college in Waco and that little Czech bakery was always packed on Saturday mornings. I still dream about their kolaches.

Sausage, egg and cheese were my favorite, though I tried quite a few different sweet/savory kinds while living in Houston. I've never seen them anywhere else by that name...
