Italian Antipasto Squares (Page 4 ) | August 11, 2023

If you decide to make these squares for a party, it’s fine to leave them out for a few hours. However, you shouldn’t let the squares with meat and cheese sit out overnight because they will go bad and it won’t be good to eat them anymore. Be sure to wrap them up and place them in the fridge, where they can stay fresh for up to three days. You can always eat them cold or reheat them to enjoy the squares warm again.

How can I reheat these squares?

You can reheat the Antipasto Squares in the oven. It’s best to place them in the oven to get warm again instead of microwaving them. If you put them in the microwave, the dough can get a bit soggy, which takes away from that special crunch.

How to Freeze the Antipasto Squares

Freeze your squares in freezer-safe foil and then place them in a freezer bag. Place the freezer bag in the freezer, where you can keep this food fresh for up to three months. You can thaw these squares in the fridge overnight before you enjoy them.

Once you cut the squares, any liquid from the meats and veggies will seep out. There is no avoiding this and the bottom of the dough may become slightly soggy. But, they still hold together great. This is basically like a baked Italian sub. It is slightly salty, but that is to be expected with all the meats and cheeses used. For less sodium, use lower sodium options for the meat.

This is an amazing lunch or dinner option but even more fun for a party! Use whatever Italian meats you prefer. If you don’t want or don’t have the ingredients for the pesto topping, just brush the top lightly with an egg wash or olive oil. You can even add a sprinkling of sesame seeds for a fun twist.
