9. Fold in enough bread crumbs to bind the filling.
10. *The filling should hold its shape when formed into a ball.
11. Season with salt and pepper.
12. Cut the filo into 3 pieces, crosswise.
13. For each individual strudel, lay three pieces of filo on a working surface, with the short end facing you.
14. Place 2 tablespoons of the filling towards the top of the filo.
15. Bring the edges of the filo in about 1/2 an inch.
16. Gently roll the strudel away from the body, leaving a 1/2-inch at the bottom.

18. Seal the strudel tightly.
