Place the eggs in a medium saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil over high heat.
Once boiling, cover the saucepan and remove it from the heat. Let the eggs sit in the hot water for 9-10 minutes.
While the eggs are cooking, in a medium bowl mix low-fat mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until combined.
After the eggs have sat, drain the hot water and immediately run cold water over the eggs to cool them quickly.
Peel the eggs and chop them into small cubes.
Add the chopped eggs to the mayonnaise mixture and gently fold until all pieces are well coated.
Stir in the chopped chives for added flavor.
Slice the tomato into thin, even rounds.
Lay out 4 slices of whole grain bread and top each with a lettuce leaf.
Divide the egg mayonnaise mixture evenly among the prepared bread slices and spread it evenly.
Layer the tomato slices over the egg mixture.
Top each sandwich with the remaining slices of bread.
Cut each sandwich in half and serve immediately.
