I would love to make them for my New Years Eve party, but were you cooking while your guests were there? I don't have a huge space to entertain and if I have my griddler out trying to make grilled cheese it cuts into our bar area. Just wondering what your timing was.

There are some great sales during the holidays-even on food. I like to plan my menus by what is on sale and in season. Love the mini sandwich idea! I am a budget shopper.

I love Gruyere cheese too and you are right - it is expensive. I have a holiday appetizer recipe that calls for Gruyere. This year, I will try substituting Jarlsberg as you suggest. 30 is a pretty good NuVal score for cheese! Those mini grilled cheese sandwiches look awesome!
