Italian Antipasto Squares image

There's a whole antipasto tray baked in the tender crust of these crescent squares, served as either an appetizer or main dish. Courtesy of Pillsbury Bake-Off 41 (Hollywood 2004) and presenter was Patti Chialastri from West Haven, Ct. Update 03/2006....I made these again and instead of using American cheese (personal preference) I just doubled the amt of swiss cheese - have also made them with cheddar and they turned out great! Another Update: 01/09/2009....played around with the selection of cheeses and I used Fontina (it was out of sight!) the American cheese - I don't like so have been looking for another cheese that I could use instead - I guess it still is a work in progress! ;) Update: 11/29/2009 used Asiago cheese this time - it was marvelous - if I say-so myself!

These squares are so versatile. I've made them with different types of bread, deli meat, and cheese, and they've always been delicious.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my squares didn't turn out very well. They were kind of dry and crumbly.

I followed the recipe exactly and my squares turned out great! I'm definitely making these again.

These squares were a little too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less deli meat next time.

I'm not a huge fan of olives, but I still really enjoyed these squares. The other ingredients really balanced out the flavor.

These antipasto squares are the perfect way to use up leftover deli meat and cheese. They're also a great way to get your kids to eat their veggies.
