This Antipasto Bake is quick and easy to prepare for the holidays. Its delicious cheesy layers, savory meats and tender crust can be served as an appetizer or even a main meal. It comes together quickly and bakes in just 45 minutes. I like to add a mixture of Greek seasonings on top. The flavor is reminiscent of a good deli sandwich with an olive oil and seasoning blend.
Once you slice into this, it would be best for your safety to step back as the crowds will come charging to try a bite. Antipasto is always a hit, but when it is wrapped in a flaky croissant-like dough, it is a game-changer. You can even make it after the holidays as a game day snack.
