One more thing. Given the timing of the sun-dried tomato halves, it may be best to do as much prep as possible starting the hashbrowns. If the process is followed exactly the timing is such that the tomato halves will not have soaked for long enough by the time the eggs are added.
For the first try, the total prep time was one hour and three minutes. I did not start the potatoes until 29 minutes after the tomato halves. If I had started the potatoes about 15 minutes after the tomatoes I believe they would have been ready in time for the eggs.
As for the flavor of the meal, it was good but definitely a little odd. I described it to one of the housemates, Larry, and he suggested it should be called "It all ends up in your stomache anyway." So yeah, the mixing of the sweet flavors in the pancakes and the spicy/hearty flavors of the rest did send my pallet into a bit of a stir but it also made for a new taste experience and an easy to eat meal.
This can be easily sectioned out like a frittata and served to multiple people. It ensures an even distribution of portions as well as saving space on the plate. Give it a try and see if you like it.
