Ingredients

• 2 cans refrigerated crescent rolls
• 1/2 pound sliced ham
• 1/2 pound sliced salami
• 1/2 pound sliced provolone cheese
• 1/2 cup sliced pepperoni
• 1/2 cup banana pepper rings, drained
• 1/2 cup roasted red peppers, drained and sliced
• 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• Optional: lettuce and tomato slices for serving

Directions

1. Preheat the oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

2. Prepare the bottom crust

Unroll one can of crescent roll dough and press it into the bottom of the baking dish. Seal the seams and gently press the dough slightly up the sides.

3. Add the first layers

Layer half of the sliced ham, salami, and provolone cheese evenly over the dough.

4. Add the flavorful filling

Scatter the pepperoni, banana pepper rings, and roasted red peppers over the meat and cheese layers. Sprinkle the Italian seasoning evenly across the top.

5. Finish layering

Add the remaining ham, salami, and provolone cheese as the final filling layer.

6. Add the top crust

Unroll the second can of crescent roll dough and place it over the top. Press the edges gently to seal everything inside.

7. Add the topping

Brush the top with olive oil and sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the dough.

8. Bake

Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese inside is melted and bubbly.

9. Cool and slice

Let the dish cool slightly for a few minutes before cutting it into squares. This helps the layers hold together better when serving.
