These were fantastic! I used a combination of fresh parsley, oregano and basil instead of just parsley, and I used caramelized onions instead of the artichoke hearts (because I don't like canned artichokes). It took a bit of practice to not tear the crepes when I flipped them, but even when I did, they tasted delicious.
