Prepare the crepe batter: In a large mixing bowl, sift the all-purpose flour and salt together. Gradually whisk in the milk until smooth, ensuring no lumps. Beat the eggs in a separate bowl and incorporate them into the mixture. Stir in the melted butter. Cover and let rest for 20 minutes.
Heat a non-stick skillet (approximately 8 inches in diameter) over medium heat. Lightly grease with a thin coat of butter or oil. Pour about 1/4 cup of the batter into the skillet, swirling it around to evenly coat the bottom. Cook for 1-2 minutes or until the edges lift easily, then flip and cook for an additional 30 seconds. Repeat with the remaining batter, stacking the crepes on a plate and covering with a clean kitchen towel to keep warm.
Prepare the mushroom filling: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped shallot and garlic, cooking until softened and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the finely chopped mushrooms to the skillet. Cook while stirring frequently until most of their moisture has evaporated, about 5-7 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and pour in the heavy cream. Stir well to combine and simmer gently for 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper to taste, and stir in the fresh parsley. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Assemble the crepes: Lay a crepe flat on a clean surface. Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of the mushroom filling onto the lower third of the crepe. Fold the bottom edge over the filling, then fold in the sides and roll up tightly like a burrito. Repeat with the remaining crepes and filling.
Optional: Warm the filled crepes in a preheated oven set to 180°C (350°F) for 5-7 minutes before serving.
Serve warm as is or with a side salad for a complete meal.
