πŸ₯ͺ Italian Sub Squares combine classic deli meats and cheeses in a convenient, easy-to-make casserole form that’s perfect for gatherings or casual meals.
πŸ”₯ This recipe offers a flavorful, hearty dish that uses crescent roll dough for a crispy, golden crust and rich layered fillings.

  • Total Time: 1 hour

Ingredients

– 2 cans crescent roll dough sheets

– 8 ounces sliced provolone cheese

– 1/4 pound sliced deli pepperoni

– 1/4 pound sliced deli ham

– 1/4 pound sliced Genoa salami

– 12 ounce can roasted red bell peppers, drained and thinly sliced

– 1/2 cup canned sliced pepperoncini, drained

– 1 egg

– 1 tablespoon prepared pesto

– 1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese

Instructions

1-Getting started with Italian Sub Squares: First, preheat your oven to 350Β°F and spray a 9Γ—13 baking dish with cooking spray to keep things from sticking. Unroll one crescent dough sheet and press it into the bottom and up the sides of the dish, forming a 1-inch high edge for that perfect crust.

2-Layer the fillings: Layer half the provolone cheese evenly on the dough, then add the pepperoni, ham, and salami slices over the cheese for a tasty base. Top that with the roasted red bell peppers and pepperoncini, followed by the remaining provolone to seal in the flavors.

3-Assemble and bake: Place the second crescent dough sheet over the filling and pinch the edges to seal everything tightly. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg, pesto, and Parmesan cheese, then brush this mixture over the top dough layer for extra flavor and a golden finish. Cover with non-stick foil or spray regular foil and place it spray-side down, then bake covered for 30 minutes before uncovering and baking 15-20 minutes more until it’s deep golden brown.

4-Cool and serve: Let it cool for 10 minutes before cutting and serving, and feel free to adapt for dietary needs as mentioned earlier.

Notes

🍽 Store leftovers airtight in the refrigerator for 3 days or freeze for 3 months; defrost overnight and reheat in a 350°F oven to restore crispness.
πŸ₯ Use crescent roll dough sheets and seal perforations thoroughly if using regular crescent rolls.
🌿 Pesto topping adds flavor but is optional; substitute with egg wash or olive oil for browning.
