In a large bowl, whisk together the Jersey milk, 2 tbsp Jersey clotted cream, eggs, dried lavender flowers, vanilla extract, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Heat a large frying pan over medium heat.
Dip each slice of challah bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are well coated. Allow excess batter to drip off.
Melt 1 tbsp of Jersey butter in the hot frying pan. Add half of the soaked bread slices to the pan.
Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Repeat with the remaining butter and bread slices.
While French toast is cooking, lightly saute diced Jersey Royal potatoes in a separate pan. Be careful not to brown them; just warm them through.
To serve, place two slices of French toast on each plate. Top with Jersey Royal potatoes, seasonal Jersey berries and a dollop (1 tbsp) of Jersey clotted cream per serving.
Drizzle with maple syrup and dust with powdered sugar, if desired. Serve immediately.

For a richer flavor, soak the bread in the egg mixture for 15-20 minutes before cooking.
Adjust the amount of lavender to your preference. A little goes a long way.
Use day-old bread for best results. It will absorb the egg mixture better.
Serve with crispy Jersey bacon for a savoury element.
