In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise and Sriracha sauce until well combined. Set aside.
Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Crack the eggs into the pan, keeping the yolks intact, and season with salt and black pepper. Fry for 2-3 minutes or until the whites are set and the edges are crispy.
Flip the eggs carefully if you prefer over-easy eggs, and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes. Remove from pan and set aside on a plate.
In the same pan, add butter and let it melt. Place both slices of bread in the pan and toast them until golden brown on one side, about 1 minute.
Flip the bread slices over. Spread the mayonnaise-Sriracha mixture evenly on the golden-brown sides of the bread.
Place the slice of cheddar cheese on one piece of bread, and let it melt slightly while the bread toasts on the other side.
Top the cheese with the fried eggs and a handful of arugula. Place the second slice of bread on top, sauce side down.
Gently press the sandwich with a spatula and cook for an additional 30 seconds to heat through.
Remove the sandwich from the pan, slice it in half, and serve hot.
