Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cans refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 200g sliced ham
- 150g sliced salami
- 100g sliced pepperoni
- 200g sliced provolone cheese
- 1/2 cup roasted red peppers, drained and sliced
- 2 tbsp banana pepper rings (optional)
- 1 tbsp Italian seasoning
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Unroll one can of crescent dough and press it into the bottom of the dish, sealing seams to create a flat layer for your Italian crescent roll sandwich.
- Layer the ham, salami, and pepperoni evenly over the dough. Add the provolone cheese slices, followed by the roasted red peppers and banana pepper rings if using.
- Sprinkle the Italian seasoning over the filling.
- Gently unroll the second can of crescent dough and place it on top of the filling to form the top layer of your Italian crescent roll sandwich bake.
- Press the edges to seal and pinch any seams closed to prevent leaks during baking.
- Brush the top layer of dough with the beaten egg for a golden finish, then sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and puffed.
- Let the Italian crescent roll sandwich bake rest for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Customize the filling with other deli meats like turkey or add sautéed onions or spinach.
- For a spicier version, include hot cherry peppers or crushed red pepper flakes.
- This bake is best served warm but can be made ahead and reheated in the oven.
- Pairs well with a side salad or marinara sauce for dipping.
