In a large bowl, mix the whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the low-fat yogurt, egg, and olive oil until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
Spread the cream cheese on top of the bread batter evenly.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and arrange them on top of the cream cheese layer, cut side up.
Sprinkle the chopped fresh basil and ground black pepper over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
