- For the berry compote: Mix cherries, blueberries, raspberries, 2 tbs sugar, lemon juice and water in a pan.

- For the French toast: Beat eggs, milk, remaining 2 tbs sugar and vanilla extract in a shallow bowl.
- Cut pretzel bread into 4 inch long pieces, then split the pieces for sandwiches. Then thinly slice off the tops and bottoms of bread to expose white of the bread so it can absorb the batter better.

- Melt butter in skillet over medium low heat and grill each side for 2-3 minutes to brown.
- For the cheese spread: Vigorously mix mascarpone, brie and pistachios with fork until well blended.
- spread on inside of French toast slice, and allow bread to cool to room temperature.
- Drain any excess water and spread some of the fruit compote on top of the cheeses.
- top with prosciutto slices and another slice of French toast.
- Sprinkle powdered sugar over and serve.
