Crack the eggs into a small mixing bowl. Add the milk, salt, and black pepper, and whisk thoroughly until fully combined.
Place a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and melt 1 tablespoon of butter, ensuring it coats the entire cooking surface.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Let it sit undisturbed for about 20 seconds, then gently stir with a spatula to create soft curds. Continue stirring as the eggs cook, removing them from heat once they are just set but still creamy. Transfer the scrambled eggs to a plate and set them aside.
Spread 1 teaspoon of butter onto one side of each slice of bread. Place the bread slices butter-side down into a clean skillet over medium heat.
Toast the bread until golden and crispy on one side, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside.
Spread the mayonnaise onto the untoasted side of each bread slice.
Layer the scrambled eggs evenly on top of one slice of bread, followed by the dill pickle slices.
Place the second slice of bread on top, mayonnaise-side down, to form a sandwich.
Slice the sandwich in half if desired, and serve warm.
