In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Pour in the egg mixture and let it cook, occasionally stirring with a spatula, until the eggs are just set but still soft, about 3-4 minutes.
While the eggs are cooking, spread mayonnaise on one side of each almond flour bread slice.
In a separate skillet or on a griddle, melt the remaining tablespoon of butter over medium heat.
Place the almond flour bread slices, mayonnaise-side down, onto the skillet. Top each slice with a slice of cheddar cheese.
Cook until the bread is golden brown and the cheese begins to melt, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Once the bread is toasted and cheese is melted, divide the scrambled eggs between two of the bread slices on the cheese-covered side.
Top each sandwich with another slice of almond flour bread, cheese-side down, to complete the sandwich.
Cut each sandwich in half and serve immediately while warm.
