Steps:
- Brush Camembert on all sides with egg, then coat with breadcrumbs. Place on foil-lined plate and cover.
- Bring Port to simmer in heavy small saucepan over medium heat. Add figs; simmer until slightly softened, about 5 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer figs to small bowl. Add sugar to Port in pan; boil until reduced to thick syrup, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. Pour syrup over figs. (Cheese and figs can be prepared 3 hours ahead. Refrigerate cheese. Let figs stand at room temperature.)
- Melt butter in heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add Camembert and cook until breadcrumbs are brown and cheese is warm, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to platter. Top with blue cheese, figs and syrup. Sprinkle with chives and surround with toasts.
MISSION FIG CLAFOUTI
Clafouti is a country French baked pudding, versatile enough to serve for breakfast, brunch, tea or dinner, and suited to a wide variety of fruits. Figs, cherries and other stone fruits work well, and I've also made savory clafoutis with fresh corn and mushrooms. I think it's charming to cook and serve this from a cast-iron pan - especially mini pans that make individual servings - but you can use decorative porcelain pie pans, individual gratin dishes or any skillet providing it is not nonstick. Clafouti tastes and looks best served directly from the oven, while it's puffy and light. It can also be served at room temperature, but it will settle in the pan as it cools. Michael's notes: If you plan to serve individual clafoutis from mini pans, heat the pans in the oven until quite hot, about five minutes, then divide the cooked fruit among the pans, top with the batter and bake. Cooking time will vary depending on the size of the pans. To make a cherry clafouti, use 1 1/4 cups pitted cherries. Substitute 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest for the cinnamon and Grand Marnier for the grappa.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Make the batter: Sift the flour, granulated sugar, cinnamon and salt into a bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, egg yolk, and milk until well blended. Add about 1/3of the egg mixture to the flour mixture and whisk to form a paste, then gradually incorporate the remaining egg mixture. Whisk until well blended.
- Cook the figs: With the tip of a knife, scrape the vanilla bean seeds from the pod into an ovenproof 10-inch cast iron or stainless steel skillet. Add the pod and the butter and cook over moderately high heat until the butter turns nut brown. Add the figs and cook, stirring often, for about 1 minute to soften them. Remove the vanilla bean pod and discard. Sprinkle the figs with the granulated sugar, reduce the heat to moderately low, and cook until the the sugar has melted and is coating the figs in a light syrup. Add the grappa or other brandy, swirl the pan briefly, then spread the fruit evenly in the pan.
- Remove the pan from the heat. Working quickly, pour the batter through a sieve evenly over the fruit. Bake until the edges of the clafouti are puffed and browned and the center is set, about 15 minutes. Remove from the oven.
- Put some confectioners' sugar in a sieve and generously dust the surface of the clafouti. Serve warm directly from the pan with a dollop of creme fraiche.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425°F. Rinse the figs and pat them dry, then cut off the stems and, without cutting through the base, halve them from top to bottom. Set the figs upright in a dish just big enough to hold them snugly.
- Melt the butter in a small skillet with the salt, honey, and cinnamon, then spoon it over the figs.
- Bake until the sauce is bubbling and the fruit is heated through, about 15 minutes. Serve warm.
