Steam the chopped broccoli, carrots, and red pepper until tender. Once the vegetables are cool, pulse in a food processor to get a fine consistency. Set aside.
Mix tofu, tamari, chopped serrano pepper, vegan cheddar, salt and pepper in a food processor.
In a bowl, mix the tofu mixture and the steamed vegetables together.
You can spray coconut oil in a casserole dish to grease the pan, but I have found it isn't necessary. Spread out tofu and vegetable mix. Top with tomato slices, if using.
Bake at 350° for 40 minutes and serve.

Notes
Variations and additions
Add vegan cheddar shredded on top.
Use vegan nacho cheddar instead of vegan cheddar - this adds even more spice.
Try other vegetables like mushrooms, spinach, and tomatoes - just keep in mind the water content and amounts of each, because it can change the consistency of your dish.
Serve with vegan sour cream, sliced avocado, or guacamole to cool the palate.
