¼ teaspoon | Salt |
1 cup | Shredded cheddar cheese |
⅔ cup | Butter or margarine |
2 tablespoons | Cold water; (up to 4) |
1 pack | (10 oz) frozen chopped spinach (I like to use fresh spinach; and lots of it) |

3 larges | Eggs; lightly beaten |
2 tablespoons | Grated Parmesan cheese |

Shape into a ball; chill one hour. Shape into 36 balls. Place in greased miniature muffin pans, shaping into a shell in pans.
Cook spinach according to package directions; drain. Press between paper towels to remove excess moisture. Combine spinach, cottage cheese, and remaining ingredients; stir well. Spoon mixture evenly into prepared shells. Bake at 400F for 25 to 27 minutes, until golden. Cool for 2 minutes. Loosen sides of tarts with a knife, remove and serve warm.
