Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with the unsalted butter and set aside.
Cook the breakfast sausage links in a skillet over medium heat until browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes. Let them cool slightly, then cut them into bite-sized pieces.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, salt, and ground black pepper until well combined.
Add the cubed bread, cooked sausage pieces, and shredded cheddar cheese into the egg mixture. Gently toss everything together until the bread is evenly saturated with the liquid.
Pour the bread and sausage mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Place the casserole dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the egg mixture is fully set.
Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. Sprinkle the top with chopped parsley, if desired, before serving.
Cut into squares and serve warm. Enjoy!
