Pin This RecipeWe are on our last Football Friday of 2017. Where did the year go?!?! I hope everyone has a safe New Year! We will be at home watching all the football games. We will also be snacking on these Antipasto Squares. They are ridiculously good!!!
We had a version of these Antipasto Squares at a friend’s house earlier in the year. I LOVED them!! It was almost embarrassing how many of these delicious squares I ate. ALMOST! LOL! I immediately went home and started researching recipes so I could make them myself.
These Antipasto Squares are crescent rolls stuffed with ham, salami, pepperoni, provolone, swiss, and roasted red peppers. The crescent rolls are topped with a parmesan cheese, egg and pesto mixture and then baked. Let me tell you, these things are SO good! Perfect for tailgating or any New Year’s parties you have going on this weekend. They taste great hot out of the oven or cooled to room temperature. I promise there won’t be any leftovers!
Just a note – Feel free to leave out the roasted red peppers if you have picky eaters. They taste just as good without the peppers.

These are absolutely delicious! Everyone in my family gobbled them down!
Have you used with puff pastry.
I haven’t tried this with puff pastry, but it would probably work fine.
Can you prepare a day in advance and then cook it?
sure
Can eggs be substituted with anything else?
I make it without the pesto and pepper and still get rave revues. I am asked to make this alot.
I made this for a Super Bowl party and it got rave reviews. This is a new keeper recipe for me!
What can you use in place of the red pepper?
Anything you like.
Sun dried tomatoes?
This can be made with just an egg wash right or do you have to use that much egg?
You can make it however you want. This is how I made it and what you see in the photos.
Do have to use the eggs?
Do you think this can be put together the night before & cooked the next day?
Sorry, I now see that you used 9×13 dish.
Can I make these ahead of time and reheat to serve warm?
I’m sure that would be fine.
I just made this! I love it and I know my guests will too! This is a keeper!!
What size pan dish did you use? Also, what can I use in place of basil pesto?
I’ve only made this with pesto, but you can certainly try it with just basil.
Try with tomato pesto!
These are so good! My husband and I really liked them and will definitely make them again. It will be fun to add some different meats/peppers.
This is a great base recipe to get creative with. Enjoy!
I am wondering is 3 eggs correct? The directions say to pour over and I did do that but it seems like a lot and almost soufflé wish and is not flat looking like yours in the picture.
I made the recipe as written and it came out like the pictures. Feel free to make it however you wish.
I have made these many times–they are great!
These look amazing!
I want to take these to a party. do they get soggy after awile? Anybody know?
They don't get soggy – I've taken them to parties and they do just fine.
These are to die for. I always make them for family gatherings and they disappear fast! My recipe did not have the basil pesto in it, so I will definitely try that next time. I do use the crescent sheets when I can find them- otherwise pinch together the seams in the original crescent rolls. Also have used with garlic flavored crescent rolls- delicious!
Guys,
I am thinking of taking these to a party. Do you think they will be good at room temp? Most sliders are… I don't see why they wouldn't. Any thoughts??? Thanks!! Melanie
Yes, they are good at room temperature. You should actually serve them after they have cooled a bit because they can be runny if too hot.
I made these yesterday for a cocktail party. BUT the foil stuck to the top and I could not remove it after the 30 minutes. I left it on till the end of cooking then had to peel it off taking part of the top dough with it! Still tasted good but not so pretty!
Try the nonstick foil and making sure it isn’t pressed right on top of the crescent rolls
You could also spray the foil with non-stick spray if you don't have nonstick foil.
Could I make this one day before and put in refrigerator and then cook it the next day
I haven’t tested that out, but it should be fine.
Can these be made ahead (several hours or a full day)? What would be the best way to store and reheat-oven or microwave? They look wonderful!
You can make them ahead – I think a in advance would be fine. I would refrigerate them and either reheat in the oven or microwave. I usually prefer to reheat in the oven, but either would work great.
Can these Antipasto Squares be prepared, then frozen?
I think that would be fine.
I would think it would be easier to use the Pillsbury Crescent Dough Sheet. Have you tried it that way or would it not be the same consistency? Thank you
I say crescent rolls or crescent sheet for the ingredients. The sheets are definitely easier if you can find them.
These look outstanding Steph
We love football in this house. I have collected all of your Friday Football recipes, haven't tried them all yet but the ones I have are excellent. Go Ohio State Buckeyes, Bengals and U of Cincinnati.
