Simply because there is nothing better than coming home from a long day and being able to whip up a fast meal that is both easy to make and mouthwatering to taste. This New Ulm Bavarian Omelet from innkeeper/chef Ramona Sonnenberg from Deutsche Strasse Bed and Breakfast, located in the historic district of New Ulm, MN, is a perfect example! At this bed and breakfast (a stately Victorian home circa 1884), guests not only indulge in amazing breakfast experiences, but they also enjoy the charm and hospitality of the old country situated just two hours from Minneapolis/St. Paul and three hours from Sioux Falls, SD.
