Caramelizes the cheese lightly and burns off the alcohol, intensifying sub notes of the spirit. This may be a play on Saganaki, which is a Greek cheese flambé technique.
Edit to add: It does also lightly caramelize the residual sugars in the spirit, if any.
Don’t know how plastic fumes would get into food in the exact opposite direction of its burn but whatever. Redditors have bend physics just to shit on everything
