I might be stealing your JJ lunch idea for DD2's birthday.  I was actually starting to think about what I'd serve.

Since we've got parties so close together - June (son), July (DD2) and August (DD1) - I don't like to serve the same thing at each party.

I ALWAYS do a taco bar for Son's parties.  He loves it and I get tons of compliments on it.  And I just do burgers and dogs for DD2's party.

So anyway, thanks for the inspiration.

I totally recommend it!  DH and I were both thinking, "Why didn't we do this before (for other parties)?!" It was so easy...order online, it was ready right on time, and we just had to take the lids off the platters. 

Our spread looked great with the chips and dip/salsa/guac, veggie tray, and sandwiches.

I don't know what those platters cost, but I did this for M2.  I made 3 of them for under $35.  It took no time to make up first thing in the morning then straight to the oven.  I promise it's not eggy, but the egg sets them up so you can cut whatever size you want.  Good hot or room temp or even cold.

Hoagie bake

2 8 oz tubes crescent rolls
1/3 lb sliced salami
1/3 lb sliced pepperoni
1/3 lb deli ham
1/3 lb sliced swiss
1/3 lb sliced provolone
4 eggs beaten and divided
grated parmesan to taste

flatten one tube of crescents into and press into a greased 9X13.
layer salami, pepperoni, and hamover rolls. Top with swiss and provolone.
Brush half the beaten eggs evenly over cheese. Cover with remaining rolls
Brush remaining egg over rolls and sprinkle with parm.

Bake UNcovered at 350 for 25 mins. Bake covered for an additional 20. Let it sit for a few minutes then cut into squares. I made 3 of these for a group of 24 for lunch and there wasn't much leftover.
