The provolone cheese is good to use because of how great it tastes with the deli meats and how easily it melts with the rest of the ingredients in this recipe. However, if provolone cheese isn’t your favorite, feel free to swap it out with something else, such as mozzarella or American cheese, whichever you like better.
Can I add or remove some meats from this dish?
Yes. If you don’t like one of the different types of deli meats included in this recipe, you can exclude it. You can also add other deli meats that you do like to this recipe to give the squares a taste that you can enjoy.
Recipe Notes & Tips
1. Don’t be alarmed when you notice a bit of liquid seeping from the squares when you cut them because this is normal. While your dough may have a slightly soggy texture, it still holds everything together well enough.
2. If you need to make a lower-sodium version of this recipe, be sure to grab low-sodium cold cuts from your grocery store. You can expect these squares to have a slightly salty taste, but that is normal when you’re using deli meat.
3 . If you don’t have the pesto topping available to use, you can cover the top of your Antipasto Squares with a bit of melted butter, olive oil, or some egg wash. You might even want to toss a few sesame seeds on top to add your own special twist to this recipe.
