Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Lightly grease a medium baking dish.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk or cream, melted butter, salt, and pepper.
Add the bread cubes and sliced sausages to the egg mixture. Stir gently to coat everything evenly.
If using optional ingredients, stir in the diced red onion and cherry tomatoes now.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish.
Sprinkle the grated Gouda cheese evenly over the top.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set.
Let stand for a few minutes before serving. If using, sprinkle with fresh dill.
💡 Pro Tips from Your Kitchen Companion: 🔥 Want extra golden edges? Pop it under the broiler for a minute or two at the very end (watch it like a hawk!). 🧀 Got leftover fancy cheese? Sprinkle it on top with the Gouda! 🌿 If you're not a dill fan (gasp!), fresh parsley or chives work beautifully too! ✨ Make it ahead: Assemble everything the night before, cover, and bake in the morning. Just add a few extra minutes to the baking time!
