- The filling leaked out.
- You rolled it too tightly or didn't tuck the edges. Steam expands the strudel during baking; it needs a little room.
- The pastry got soft the next day.
- Strudel is best fresh. The moisture from the filling softens the dough over time. Re-crisp it in the oven for a few minutes.

Instructions
Chill the Ferrero Rocher truffles in the fridge for 15 minutes, then chop them coarsely.
Mix the hazelnut spread with the liquid cream and sugar until smooth. You want a thick but spreadable consistency.
In a skillet with a little butter, toast the breadcrumbs until golden brown.
Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Lay the phyllo sheets on a damp kitchen towel.
Assemble the strudel: Take one sheet, brush with melted butter. Layer another sheet on top, brush again. Repeat with 4-5 sheets. Sprinkle the last sheet with the toasted crumbs.
Spread the hazelnut cream filling along the bottom third of the dough, leaving a 1-inch border. Sprinkle with the chopped truffles.
Fold in the side edges, then roll up tightly but gently.
Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush the top with beaten egg.
Bake for 30-40 minutes until deep golden brown.
Let cool to lukewarm before slicing, otherwise the hot filling will run out.
