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

'breakfast' is the definition.
(common breakfast food)

I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for muesli that I've seen before include "Granola-like food" , "Breakfast dish of cereal, dried fruit and nuts in milk" , "Breakfast mush" , "Breakfast mix of oats, nuts, fruit etc" , "Oat-based breakfast cereal" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
