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 were a bit too rich for my taste, but I think that's because I used full-fat cheese. I'll try using low-fat cheese next time.

These squares were a bit bland for my taste, but I think that's because I didn't use enough cheese. I'll definitely add more next time.

I had to make a few substitutions because I didn't have all of the ingredients on hand, but the squares still turned out great.

These squares were a bit too salty for my taste, but I think that's because I used store-bought pesto. I'll try making my own next time.

I've made these squares several times now. They're always gone in minutes. I don't even have to ask people if they want one, they just disappear!
