Preparation:

Step 1
• Position the oven rack on the middle shelf and preheat the oven to 230°C.
Step 2
• On a baking sheet, toss the broccoli with vegetable oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and a pinch of ground black pepper and spread it out in a single layer. Roast the broccoli in the oven until browned in spots and tender but not mushy, 15-20 minutes. Transfer the broccoli to a cutting board and let it cool. Then chop coarsely.
Step 3
• Meanwhile, melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 6 to 8 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until softened, about 2 minutes. Stir in the flour and cook until the flour is lightly browned and forms a paste, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the heavy cream and continue cooking, stirring frequently, until the mixture comes to a simmer and thickens to the consistency of heavy cream, 10 to 15 minutes. Turn off the heat and stir in the Cheddar and Monterey Jack until completely melted. Gently stir in the roasted broccoli and mustard. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 4
• Transfer the dip to a serving dish and serve with baked potatoes or other dipping dishes.
