Antipasto Squares Recipe

Ingredients

IngredientAmount
Refrigerated crescent roll dough2 cans (8 oz each)
Sliced ham¼ pound
Sliced salami¼ pound
Sliced pepperoni¼ pound
Sliced provolone cheese¼ pound
Sliced mozzarella cheese¼ pound
Roasted red peppers, drained and sliced½ cup
Large eggs3
Grated Parmesan cheese¼ cup
Italian seasoning1 teaspoon
Garlic powder½ teaspoon
Black pepper¼ teaspoon

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Baking Dish

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.

Step 2: Add the Bottom Crust

Unroll one can of crescent roll dough and press it evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Pinch the seams together to form a solid crust.

Step 3: Layer the Filling

Arrange the ham, salami, and pepperoni evenly over the dough. Add the provolone and mozzarella cheese, then scatter the roasted red peppers across the top.

Step 4: Make the Egg Mixture

In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, grated Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 5: Assemble the Squares

Pour half of the egg mixture evenly over the layered filling. Place the second sheet of crescent roll dough over the top, pinching the seams and edges to seal. Brush the remaining egg mixture over the surface of the dough.

Step 6: Bake

Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is hot and bubbly.

Tip: Let the dish rest for 10–15 minutes before cutting. This allows the cheese to set slightly, making the squares easier to slice and serve.

Step 7: Slice and Serve

Cut into squares or rectangles using a sharp knife or pizza cutter. Serve warm or at room temperature as an appetizer, snack, or light meal.
