24 bars
- Serves:
- 8-12
ingredients
- 2 (8 ounce) cans crescent rolls
- 2 eggs
- 1⁄4 cup grated parmesan cheese or 1/4 cup romano cheese
- 3⁄4 lb provolone cheese
- 1⁄4 lb pepperoni
- 1⁄4 lb salami
- 1⁄4 lb capicola
- 1⁄4 lb mortadella
- 1⁄4 lb prosciutto
directions
- Preheat oven to 425.
- Spread 1 roll of crescent rolls over bottom of the greased 13 x 9 pan in a sheet, spreading slightly if necessary.
- Layer half of provolone cheese, overlapping.
- Create 1 layer of each italian meat, slightly overlapping, in the order of your choosing.
- layer the rest of the provolone over the italian meats.
- Unroll the other can of crescent rolls over the top, spreading slightly if necessary. Don't worry if it doesn't completely cover everything, they'll puff during baking.
- whisk together eggs and grated parmesan cheese.
- Using a pastry brush, brush ENTIRE MIXTURE over the top. You can pour it into the edges and corners if you like as well.
- Bake for 30-40 minutes or until golden brown.
- Cool and cut into bars, or along the triangles of the crescent dough for sandwiches.
- The meats in the recipe list are merely suggestions. I use whatever happens to be on sale when I go to the grocery store, but always use at least pepperoni, salami and capicola.
- Amount of meat can be adjusted based on personal preference.
- Instead of bars, you can also cut along the triangles from the crescent rolls and make 8 sandwiches instead.

Wonderful appitizer! My boyfriend made this for his Christmas potluck at work and it turned out fantastic! Instaed of the provolone we bought monterey jack because our grocery store did not have any provolone in stock. We also could not find cans of cresent dough but we substituted it with something very similar. We will definitely be making these again! Thank you for the recipe.

I grew up about an hour north of New York City in Connecticut, but have moved to a small town in Northern British Columbia to be with my husband. What I miss most about home is all the food variety, so I have set out on a personal quest to recreate all the tastes I miss from home.
