Ingredients
Gather these ingredients, and you’re halfway to creating a dish that’s sure to become a new family favorite. Here’s what you’ll need:
- 2 cans (8 oz each) refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1/2 pound sliced deli ham
- 1/2 pound sliced salami
- 1/2 pound sliced provolone cheese
- 1/2 cup roasted red peppers, drained and chopped
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- Salt and pepper to taste
If you’re missing something, don’t worry! Feel free to substitute with what you have on hand. Turkey or chicken slices can replace the ham, or swap out provolone for mozzarella if you prefer. The beauty of this dish is its adaptability, much like the way my family recipes have evolved over time.
Instructions
Ready to bring a little Italian flair to your kitchen? Follow these simple steps, and you’ll have a delightful meal in no time:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with olive oil.
- Unroll one can of crescent roll dough, and press it into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form a crust. Make sure to seal any perforations.
- Layer the ham slices evenly over the dough, followed by the salami and provolone cheese.
- Sprinkle the chopped roasted red peppers and fresh basil over the cheese layer.
- Unroll the second can of crescent roll dough, and place it over the top of the layered ingredients. Pinch the edges to seal the top and bottom dough layers together.
- Brush the top with the beaten egg. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning for an extra burst of flavor.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the bake is heated through. You’ll know it’s done when the aroma fills your kitchen, much like the scents of my childhood home.
- Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy the layers of flavor in every bite!
