### Instructions

**1. Preheat the oven**
Set oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

**2. Roll out the dough**
Press one can of crescent roll dough into the bottom of the dish, sealing the seams to form a solid crust.

**3. Layer the ingredients**
Start layering your meats and cheeses — ham, salami, pepperoni, provolone, mozzarella — followed by the roasted red peppers and optional banana peppers. You can repeat the layers if desired for extra heartiness.

**4. Make the egg mixture**
In a bowl, beat 2 of the eggs with the Parmesan cheese, oregano, and a pinch of black pepper. Pour this evenly over the layered filling.

**5. Add the top crust**
Unroll the second can of crescent dough and place it over the top. Gently press to seal the edges.

**6. Egg wash and bake**
Beat the remaining egg and brush it over the top crust for a golden finish. Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and puffed.

**7. Cool and slice**
Let the antipasto squares cool for at least 10–15 minutes before slicing into squares. Serve warm or at room temperature.
