Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a standard loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
Cook the sausage links in a skillet over medium heat until fully cooked and browned. Once cooked, let them cool slightly before slicing them into small, bite-sized pieces.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the unsalted butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles crumbly sand.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry mixture. Stir gently to combine, but do not overmix.
Add the grated cheddar cheese, cooked sausage pieces, fresh parsley, dried thyme, and black pepper to the batter. Fold everything together until evenly distributed.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake the loaf in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the loaf from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve warm or at room temperature. This loaf pairs wonderfully with a fresh salad or as a standalone snack!
