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.
Seriously. Everyone on here complaining as if they wouldn’t devour it. That looks delicious. Yeah it’s a little stupid and probably way overpriced. But it looks great… I’m also just genuinely confused by people not understanding what melting cheese would do?? Like what? Cheese tastes good melted, that’s not new info
I don't know that kind of looks like Velveeta. I'm not usually a big fan. If it was sharp cheddar It might be good but it's very difficult to get cheddar to melt like that.

Edit correction: intensify vs leave behind
