I keep this really simple but you can add a splash of balsamic vinegar to the figs, some herbs, and you can bake the cheese with the figs, or stuff them with the cheese. To go less sweet, roast the figs without any honey. Creamy cheese is just one option, and I've been turning to cashews for savory cheese spreads and creams. Feel free to use goat cheese or another creamy cheese if you do dairy.I prefer Black Mission figs and I imagine this recipe will work with other types, I just haven't tried it yet.
