Greek character lies about item on breakfast menu? (6)

I believe the answer is:

muesli

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'breakfast menu?' is the definition.
'muesli' can be an answer for 'breakfast' (common breakfast food). I am unsure of the 'menu?' bit.

'greek character lies about item' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'character' could be 'mu' (Greek letter) and 'mu' is present in the answer.
an anagram of 'lies' is 'esli' which is within the answer.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'on' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for muesli that I've seen before include "eaten at breakfast" , "Breakfast mixture of oats, nuts, fruit etc" , "Breakfast mix of oats, nuts, fruit etc" , "Breakfast mush" , "Mixture of untoasted dry cereals and fruits" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
