Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice the French baguette into 1/2-inch thick slices and arrange them in a single layer on the baking sheet.
Lightly brush each slice with olive oil and sprinkle with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Toast in the oven for 5-7 minutes, or until the slices are golden and crisp. Remove from oven.
Place the Camembert cheese wheel in a small, oven-safe baking dish. Score the top of the cheese with shallow criss-cross cuts using a sharp knife.
Spread the fig jam evenly over the top of the scored Camembert cheese.
Drape the slices of prosciutto over the baguette slices, folding them neatly to fit.
Place the Camembert in the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, gooey, and bubbling slightly at the edges.
Remove the Camembert from the oven and garnish with fresh rosemary sprigs for aroma and presentation.
Serve the warm Camembert with the toasted bread slices topped with prosciutto on the side. Encourage guests to dip their bread slices into the gooey cheese for the ultimate Chalet-worthy bite.
