Mince garlic clove; use more garlic if preferred.

Combine the cheese, basil, garlic, sun-dried tomatoes and black pepper in small bowl.

Add the olive oil and blend well.

Cover and refrigerate 1 hour to blend flavors.

Just before serving, prepare cherry tomatoes by removing the stem end, cutting a thin slice from bottom of tomato to keep it setting straight and removing center from tomatoes with melon baller or small spoon.
