In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together with salt and black pepper until well combined.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Allow the butter to melt and coat the pan evenly.
Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet and let them cook undisturbed for about 30 seconds. Then, using a spatula, gently stir and fold the eggs until softly scrambled and set but still slightly creamy. Remove from the heat.
Toast the burger buns in a toaster or on a skillet until golden brown.
Spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on the cut side of each bun half.
Layer a piece of lettuce on the bottom half of each bun, followed by 2 slices of tomato.
Place a slice of cheddar cheese on top of the tomato. Then, evenly distribute the scrambled eggs over the cheese slices.
Top with the remaining bun halves and serve immediately.
