I used my Vitamix and combined the milk, eggs, cornstarch and all of the cheeses. I ran on #8 about thirty seconds, until all blended. I then poured over the cauliflower and topped with shredded cheese instead of breadcrumbs and baked for thirty minutes. I didn't have any separation and it turned out great.

Made using milk and cornstarch. Half a recipe was just about right as a side dish for 3 of us with some left over. Recipe didn't say how long to cook so I used the cook time in the heading. It was way too long and the custard broke down. I knew it was cooking too long but I wanted it ready with the rest of the meal. I don't think it affected flavor, just looked a little funky. Loved the crunchy topping. Will probably make again.
