This is absolutely the best!! A cross between antipasto and a deep-dish pizza. Cut into small squares for an appetizer or larger squares for a main dish. I have had this recipe for a few years and had forgotten about it, until I was going through some old cookbooks and a paper fell out that I had it written down on. Great for company, game day, or any day. You will not be disappointed.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

These antipasto squares are so good they'll haunt you... to the point you find yourself having eaten the whole pan. An antipasto platter contains Italian meats, cheese, veggies, and bread. This recipe layers those ingredients inside buttery crescent roll dough. It's filled with ham, salami, pepperoni, and Swiss and provolone cheese. Depending on how big you cut a piece, they're an ideal party treat or game-day snack. Sporty Snack Showdown Contest Winner!
