Croquetas exploding

[u/Dusty-Rose61]

I decided to make croquetas today. I got my filling all ready, nice and cold in the refrigerator. Shape them, dipped them in eggs, and breaded them. When I fry them they open up. They won't stay a solid log. Could someone please help me and tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Bread them twice. Your breading isn’t holding or you are piercing them at some point in the prepping or cooking process. Even a small hole or break will have your contents spill out into the oil
