In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.
Create a well in the middle of the flour mixture and add the eggs.
Gradually pour in the milk while continuing to whisk, ensuring the batter is smooth and lump-free.
Melt 2 tablespoons of butter and incorporate it into the batter for richer flavor.
Cover the batter and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow it to rest.
Meanwhile, shred the Gruyère cheese and finely chop the fresh parsley. Set aside.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter.
Pour 1/4 cup of batter into the skillet, tilting it to evenly coat the bottom. Cook the crepe for about 1-2 minutes until the edges lift and the bottom is golden brown.
Carefully flip the crepe and immediately place a portion of ham and cheese on one half of the crepe.
Season with a pinch of black pepper and fold the crepe in half over the filling.
Remove from the pan and keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter and filling.
Garnish the finished crepes with chopped parsley before serving.
