In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, eggs, milk, melted butter, salt, and pepper until a smooth batter forms. Let rest for 15 minutes.
~15 min - 2
Stir in the grated Gruyère cheese, chopped chives, and parsley into the batter.
~2 min - 3
Heat a lightly greased non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the pan and swirl to coat the bottom evenly. Cook for 1-2 minutes until golden brown on the bottom.
~2 min - 4
Flip the crêpe using a spatula and cook for another minute on the other side. Slide the crêpe onto a plate. Repeat with the remaining batter to make 4 crêpes.
~10 min - 5
To serve, fold each crêpe in half, then in half again to form a triangle. Place a generous portion of smoked salmon onto one half of the crêpe and top with a dollop of crème fraîche or sour cream.

Tips
- For easier flipping, ensure your frying pan is well-seasoned or use a non-stick variety.
- These crêpes can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator. Reheat gently before serving and adding the salmon.
