Instructions

1
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan with cooking spray.
2
Unroll one can of crescent roll dough and press it into the bottom of the prepared pan, pinching the seams together to form a solid crust.
3
Create layers on top of the dough, starting with salami, followed by Swiss cheese, pepperoni, and finally provolone cheese.
4
In a medium bowl, whisk together 6 eggs with a pinch of black pepper. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the cheese layer.
5
Scatter the sliced banana peppers over the eggs.
6
Unroll the second can of crescent roll dough and carefully place it over the fillings, stretching to cover the pan. Pinch the edges to seal.
7
In a small bowl, whisk the remaining egg to create an egg wash. Brush it evenly over the top layer of dough.
8
Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 20-25 minutes.
9
Carefully remove the foil, sprinkle the top with Italian seasoning, and return to the oven.
10
Bake uncovered for another 10-15 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and cooked through.
11
Let the bake cool for a few minutes before slicing into squares and serving.

Tips & Notes

Pro tips

Unroll crescent dough carefully and press seams together to form a solid base layer, preventing gaps where filling leaks through.
Layer all cheese and deli meats before pouring scrambled eggs to keep them from sinking to the bottom.
Whisk eggs with Italian seasoning and black pepper before pouring for even flavor distribution throughout the bake.
Add banana peppers in the last 5 minutes of baking to preserve their bright flavor and prevent them from becoming too soft.

Substitutions

Salami + pepperoni → ham or bacon (use 1/2 lb total for similar texture and salt level)
Swiss + provolone → Italian blend or mozzarella (maintain 12 slices or ~1.5 cups shredded)
Banana peppers → roasted red peppers or diced bell peppers (drain well to avoid excess moisture)
Crescent roll dough → pizza dough or puff pastry (adjust baking time; puff pastry may brown faster)

Storage & make-ahead

Cover and refrigerate leftovers up to 3 days; reheat in a 350°F oven for 10–15 minutes until warmed through. Not recommended for freezing due to egg texture.

Common Questions

Can I make this ahead of time?

Yes. Assemble the bake up to the egg wash step, cover, and refrigerate overnight. Add 5–10 minutes to baking time if baking cold.

What temperature should I bake this at?

Follow your crescent roll dough package instructions, typically 375°F (190°C) until golden and the eggs are set, about 25–30 minutes.

Can I use different cheeses?

Yes. Any melting cheese works—try cheddar, mozzarella, or Italian blend. Stick to 12 slices total or about 1.5 cups shredded.

How do I know when the eggs are fully cooked?

The eggs should be set and slightly firm to the touch, not runny. The center may jiggle slightly when removed from the oven but will continue to cook.
