Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
Wash the cherry tomatoes, cut them in half, and set them aside.
Open the can of refrigerated biscuit dough and separate the dough into individual biscuits. Flatten each biscuit into a 4-inch circle using your hands or a rolling pin.
Press each flattened biscuit into a muffin tin cup, forming a small crust. Ensure the dough covers the bottom and sides of each cup.
In a mixing bowl, combine shredded cheddar cheese, mayonnaise, chopped basil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to create the cheesy filling.
Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the cheesy filling into each crust-lined muffin tin cup.
Place two halves of a cherry tomato on top of the filling in each muffin cup, cut side up. Drizzle a small drop of olive oil over each tomato.
Bake the mini pies in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the pies cool for a few minutes before carefully removing them with a knife or small spatula.
Serve warm or at room temperature, garnished with extra basil if desired.
