Push out all of your preconceived notions of broccoli casserole.  No more soggy , flavorless broccoli covered with canned cream of mushroom soup—this version of ‘Baked Broccoli and Mushrooms with Crispy Shallots’ is a modern broccoli casserole that is an utter delight.  Fresh broccoli, blanched until tender yet crisp, combined with flavorful sautéed mushrooms and garlic, all topped with shredded sharp cheddar cheese and crispy, fried shallot rings.  Food & Wine magazine has given a much needed makeover to the traditional broccoli casserole.
