Brush each sheet of filo with melted margarine or butter; stack filo sheets. Cut filo crosswise into 1/4's and lengthwise into 1/3's to form 12 (4-layer) squares. Gently press each square into a muffin cup. Spoon 1/4 cup spinach mixture into each filo-lined cup. Sprinkle with remaining 2 tbsp parmesan cheese. Bake 25 minutes or until golden brown and filling is set. Remove from oven; let stand 5 minutes. Remove from cups.

A Message from our Provider:
“A cheerful spirit is one of the most valuable gifts ever bestowed upon humanity by a kind Creator. It is the sweetest and most fragrant flower of the Spirit, that constantly sends out its beauty and fragrance, and blesses everything within its reach. It will sustain the soul in the darkest and most dreary places of this world. It will hold in check the demons of despair, and stifle the power of discouragement and hopelessness. It is the brightest star that ever cast its radiance over the darkened soul, and one that seldom sets in the gloom of morbid fancies and forboding imaginations.”
