Preparation Steps
1
Brew the fresh coffee and let it cool. For a stronger coffee flavour, you can use a double shot of espresso or double the coffee grounds.
2
In a skillet, toast the breadcrumbs with half of the butter until lightly golden brown.
3
Combine the coffee with the sugar and cinnamon, then add the toasted breadcrumbs and mix well.
4
Lay the strudel leaves/filo pastry sheets individually on a clean kitchen towel. Brush each sheet with a little melted butter, then sprinkle with the toasted breadcrumbs.
5
Place the coffee filling on the strudel leaves, then carefully roll them up. Place the individual strudels in a lightly buttered baking pan.
6
Whisk the egg and brush it over the top of the strudels to give them a beautiful golden-brown color during baking.
7
Bake the strudels in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for 30-40 minutes, or until they are nicely browned and crispy.
8
Let the strudels cool slightly before slicing and serving warm.
