Add some oil to the pan.

Add garlic to the oil.

Add pre-sliced mushrooms to the pan.

Cook the mushrooms until they are soft and browned, which will take a little while.

Watch for the mushrooms to give off liquid and then stop browning as the liquid evaporates.

Once the mushrooms are browned and there is no liquid left in the pan, add jack cheese (or Mexican melting cheese from Oaxaca).

Toss the mushrooms and cheese together.

Run the pan under the broiler, checking frequently to avoid burning.

Chop cilantro while the cheese is broiling.

Once done, the dish should be bubbling, with nicely browned mushrooms and loose cheese.
