Preheat your oven to 220°C (430°F) and place a 9-inch by 13-inch roasting pan or oven-safe dish inside to heat up.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and black pepper. Create a well in the center of the flour mixture.
Crack the eggs into the well and begin whisking, gradually incorporating the flour. Slowly pour in the milk while whisking to form a smooth batter. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Brown the low-sodium sausages on all sides for about 5 minutes. They don't need to be fully cooked, as they will finish cooking in the oven.
Carefully remove the hot roasting pan from the oven and immediately add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, swirling it around to coat the pan evenly.
Arrange the browned sausages in the roasting pan and quickly pour the batter over them to ensure the pan remains hot. Work quickly to maintain the heat for good rise.
Place the roasting pan back in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the batter is puffed and golden brown.
Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired, and serve immediately.
