In a small saucepan, combine oil, garlic, and rosemary; heat on grill for about 5 minutes, or until fragrant. Remove from heat; season with salt and pepper.
Coat apricots and onions with 2 T. rosemary oil. Grill onions, flipping once, for about 8 minutes, or until grill marks form and onions soften; grill apricots, cut side down, for about 6 minutes, or until grill marks form and flesh softens. Transfer onions and apricots to a cutting board; coarsely chop onions and slice apricots into wedges.
With a serrated knife, halve bread pieces horizontally. Brush cut sides of bread with 2 T. rosemary oil; season with salt and pepper. Grill bread, cut side down, rotating but NOT turning over, for about 3 minutes, or until golden. Remove from grill; turn off 1 burner.
Stir mustard into remaining rosemary oil; brush over bread bottoms. Top with ham, onions, and apricots; scatter cheeses over bread tops.
Place bread over the side of grill that is not lit; close hood; cook about 6 minutes, or until cheeses melt and bread is toasty. Transfer to a cutting board.
