There's no function to_char for time :-(; try with your own function. Something
like

create function time2str(time) returns text as '
declare
  var_time alias for $1;
  var_hrs int;
  var_mins int;
  var_mod text;
begin
  var_hrs := extract(hours from var_time);
  var_mins := extract(minutes from var_time);
  if var_hrs >= 12 then
     var_mod := ''PM'';
     if var_hrs > 12 then
       var_hrs := var_hrs - 12;
     end if;
  else
     var_mod := ''AM'';
  end if;
  return to_char(var_hrs,''fm00'') || '':'' || to_char(var_mins,''fm00'') || var_mod;
end;
' language 'plpgsql';

regression=# select time2str('7:00:00'::time);
 time2str
----------
 07:00AM
