While not officially calling them "buttered eggs", it seems Susan did prepare them on Wild Cat Island.

She had now emptied the raw eggs into the sizzling butter, and was stirring the eggs and the butter together after shaking the pepper pot over them, and putting in a lot of salt.
"They're beginning to curdle," said Titty, who was watching carefully. "When they begin to flake, you have to keep scraping them off the bottom of the pan. I saw Mrs. Jackson do it."
"They're flaking now," said Susan. "Come on and scrape away."
She put the frying-pan on the ground, and gave every one a spoon. The captain, mate, and the crew of the Swallow squatted round the frying-pan, and began eating as soon as the scrambled eggs, which were very hot, would let them.

While not referred to as "buttered eggs" they were called "scrambled eggs" which were cooked in butter.
