In a 2-quart pan, bring water, butter, and salt to a boil. When butter
melts, remove pan from heat and add flour all at once. Beat until well
blended.
Return pan to medium heat and stir rapidly for 1 minute or until a ball
forms in middle of pan and a film forms on bottom of pan. Remove pan from
heat and beat in eggs, one at a time, until mixture is smooth and glossy.
Add cheese and beat until well mixed. Spoon into a greased 9-inch round
pan with removable bottom or spring-release sides. Spread evenly over
bottom and up sides of pan.
Bake crust in a 400 degree oven for 40 minutes or until puffed and brown;
turn off oven. With a wooden pick, prick crust in 10 to 12 places; leave
in closed oven for about 10 minutes to dry. Remove pan from oven and cool
completely. Remove crust from pan.
Prepare egg-vegetable salad. In a bowl, stir all ingredients except eggs
together as listed. Coarsely chop the 6 hard-cooked eggs; gently fold into
vegetable mixture.
Line bottom and sides of boat with spinach leaves. Cut each tomato in
half. Pile egg salad over spinach and garnish with cherry tomatoes. Cut
