Antipasto Squares

Every year during football season I look for new recipes for our gamed Saturdays.  I found this recipe  back in the spring and I put it aside for fall.  This was the weekend for it.  This recipe made the rounds of Facebook for a while.  If you see it again be sure and save it and try it.

These are the perfect little sandwich squares.  If you are taking them to a party they could be cut in smaller squares.

If you can find the crescent rolls that are in the sheet get those.  It makes it easier than having to make sure all the dotted lines are pinched together.  I found the rolls of the sheet kind at Walmart.

Unroll one tube of the dough.  Place it in the sprayed bottom of a pan.  You need a 9x13 or so pan.  This is a 9x15 jelly roll pan.  It worked really well.

Add a layer of thinly sliced deli ham.

Then a layer of pepperoni.  I had this sliced in the deli but you could use the small pieces too.

Add a layer of provolone cheese

Mozzarella cheese.

The recipe calls for a 16 oz jar of sliced pepperoncini.  I did not use any where near the entire jar.  Add as many or as few as you like.  I might try it sometime with sauted peppers and onions too.

Unroll the second tube.  Place on top of the sandwich.

Brush the top with some olive oil.  I used the good stuff that a dear friend brought back from Italy.

Sprinkle the top with some oregano.

Then sprinkle with some freshly grated Parmesan cheese.  Place in a preheated 350 oven.  Bake for about 35 minutes.  Watch it to see if it starts to get too brown.

This was after about 20 minutes.

So I lightly covered with foil.

Take out of the oven and let rest for about 10 minutes or so.

Then cut and enjoy.
