Nostalgic Crescent Roll Layered Sandwich Bake
As a child, there was one dish I always begged my mother to make—this delightful Crescent Roll Layered Sandwich Bake. It was, without a doubt, my all-time favorite.
Ingredients
- 2 cans of refrigerated crescent rolls
- ½ pound sliced ham
- ½ pound sliced salami
- ½ pound sliced provolone cheese
- ½ cup sliced pepperoni
- ½ cup banana pepper rings, drained
- ½ cup roasted red peppers, drained and sliced
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- ¼ cup olive oil
- Optional: Lettuce and tomato slices for serving
Preparation
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for baking.
- Prepare the Base Layer: Unroll one can of crescent rolls and press the dough into the bottom of a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Ensure the seams are sealed and press the dough slightly up the sides of the dish.
- Layer the Fillings: Begin by layering half of the ham, salami, and provolone cheese over the crescent dough.
- Add the Peppers: Evenly distribute the pepperoni, banana pepper rings, and roasted red peppers over the layered meats and cheese.
- Season Generously: Sprinkle Italian seasoning evenly over the top to infuse the dish with robust flavors.
- Repeat the Layers: Layer the remaining ham, salami, and provolone cheese over the pepper mixture.
- Top Layer: Unroll the second can of crescent rolls and place it over the layers, carefully pressing to seal the edges and seams.
- Finishing Touches: Brush the top layer of crescent dough with olive oil and generously sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.
- Bake to Perfection: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling with melted goodness.
- Serve: Allow the dish to cool slightly before cutting it into squares. For a fresh twist, serve with crisp lettuce and juicy tomato slices on the side.
