Breakfast Burger with Maple Sriracha Sauce

A crisp-edged hash brown belongs inside this breakfast burger, where it catches beef juice beneath a fried egg. Maple-sriracha sauce walks the sweet-hot line without becoming syrup. Keep the egg yolk jammy rather than liquid if you're trying to eat this without changing shirts.
