- Heat cinnamon rolls in foil for a soft, warm finish.
variation (if any)
- Use ribeye, sirloin, or skirt steak.

- Add vegetables like bell peppers or onions to the home fries.
- Replace cinnamon rolls with toast or biscuits for a less sweet option.
FAQs
Q: Can I use frozen potatoes for home fries?
A: Yes. Thaw them and pat dry before frying so they crisp up.
Q: How do I know when the steak is done?
A: Use a meat thermometer. 130°F (54°C) is medium-rare, 140°F (60°C) is medium.
Q: Can I make this for one person?
A: Yes. Use a smaller steak or save half for another meal. Adjust egg and potato amounts.
Q: Are cinnamon rolls necessary?
A: No. They add a sweet finish, but you can use toast, fruit, or skip them.
Q: Can I cook everything in one skillet?
A: Yes. Cook the steak first, then eggs, and use the same pan for home fries if space allows.
