Set a nonstick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat with a tiny fraction of the butter. Pour in the egg whites, season with salt and pepper, and scramble with a spatula until just set, about 2 minutes. Remove the eggs from the pan and set aside.
In the same skillet, cook the Canadian bacon slices for about 1 minute per side until warmed through and slightly browned. Remove and set aside.
Wipe the skillet clean. Spread the remaining butter on one side of each bread slice. Place one slice butter-side down in the pan. Layer half the cheese, then the Canadian bacon, the scrambled egg whites, and the remaining cheese. Top with the second bread slice, butter-side up.
Grill the sandwich over medium-low heat until the bottom is golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes. Carefully flip and grill the other side until the bread is toasted and the cheese is fully melted. Done when cheese is melted.
