You can't go to the grocery store first? I don't think either one is
a good substitute. I don't like the flavor of gruyere/swiss (too
sharp for me)... so my go to substitute is Jarlsberg. It's mellower,
but still has a nutty flavor, and melts the same. Havarti is a
completely different flavor IMO, as is Cheddar and I definitely would
not use mozzarella.
