Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice the baguette lengthwise into two halves and place them cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sautΓ© for about 1 minute, or until fragrant.
Stir in the chopped rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Remove from heat.
Brush the garlic and rosemary butter generously over the cut sides of the baguette halves.
Evenly sprinkle the crumbled bacon bits across the buttered baguette halves.
Lay the slices of brie cheese on top of the bacon, ensuring an even distribution.
Optional: Drizzle a small amount of olive oil over the top for added richness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the brie is melted and bubbling and the edges of the baguette are lightly golden.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 2 minutes. Slice into portions and serve warm.
