Puff Pastry Antipasto Squares

Puff Pastry Antipasto Squares: Puff pastry filled with meats, cheeses and roasted peppers for a man-pleasing appetizer! Ladies love it, too!!!

Puff Pastry Antipasto Squares

Antipasto Squares were one of the first recipes I shared on my blog, back in the days of using a point and shoot camera, no food styling, and very little text in my posts. They were made with sheets of crescent roll dough filled with cheeses, charcuterie, and roasted bell peppers.

So tasty as long as you’re focusing on the scrumptious combination of ingredients and not on the amount of fat and calories in each bite. I thought I’d update these winners and created Puff Pastry Antipasto Squares to serve to my book club.

Antipasto Appetizer Recipe

One of my foodie friends shared this antipasto appetizer recipe a few years back. I tracked down the original to the Pillsbury site where it appeared to have been a bake-off winner. Feel free to use your favorite cheeses and deli meats. Add some sliced olives or other favorite antipasto ingredients.

I upped the cheeses and meats since the puff pastry made a thicker base and topping than the crescent rolls. These Puff Pastry Antipasto Squares were quite a hearty appetizer and would also make a lovely light dinner with a tossed green salad.
