i think of fontina has the comparable sharpness. Gruyere is a powerful cheese (something somebody might call a 'stinky' cheese), so which you desire to stick with superior tasting cheeses. like swiss, beaufort and jarlsberg..even something smoked like provolone or sharp like cheddar might not be a foul selection..or perhaps blue, in the journey that your not making plans on melting it lots....i might stay far off from mozzerella and parm.

4 ounces Gruyere cheese, shredded (1 cup) - see notes
1/8 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
Omelets
8 large eggs (see notes)
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 teaspoons margarine or butter

To make Omelets:
In medium bowl, with wire whisk, beat eggs, salt, and 1/2 cup cold water. For each omelet, in nonstick 8-inch skillet, melt 1 teaspoon margarine or butter over medium-high heat.

you can use gruyere in place of comte in a croque monsieur, or it is wonderful in mac and cheese, or a potato gratin...
