Lay the mini crackers out in a single layer on a serving platter.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, black pepper, and salt. Mix until smooth and evenly incorporated.
Using a butter knife or piping bag, spread or pipe a small dollop of the cream cheese mixture onto each cracker.
Grate the cheddar cheese and sprinkle a generous pinch over the cream cheese on each cracker.
Cut the cherry tomatoes in half. Place one cherry tomato half on each canapé, cut side down, to secure it.
Gently tear each fresh basil leaf in half and tuck a piece under the tomato on each canapé for a pop of color and freshness.
Drizzle a small amount of olive oil over the top of the canapés just before serving to enhance the flavors.
Serve immediately and enjoy Lyn's tasty cheese canapés!
