Place a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Melt a third of the butter and place the bun halves cut side down. Toast until golden brown, about 2 minutes, then remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, melt another third of the butter. Crack the whole egg into the pan and season with a pinch of the salt and pepper. Cook until the white is fully set and the yolk is cooked to your preference, about 3 minutes. Remove the fried egg to a plate and keep warm. Done when white is set, 145°F.
In a small bowl, whisk the egg whites with the remaining salt and pepper. Melt the remaining butter in the skillet. Pour in the whites and cook, stirring gently with a spatula, until just set. Fold in the grated cheddar until melted. Done when 165°F.
Pile the cheesy scrambled egg whites onto the toasted bottom bun. Top with the fried egg and close with the remaining bun half, pressing gently to secure the filling.
