Weetabix is a popular breakfast cereal in British cupboards – it’s healthy, it’s simple and it’s very versatile.
Whether you enjoy it with just a drizzle of honey or covered in yoghurt and berries, no recipe is as bizarre as this one Weetabix proposed themselves.
The cereal brand shared a serving suggestion of “Benedict’s Eggs” – all that was needed were two Weetabix, two slices of thinly sliced ham, two poached eggs and two tablespoons of hollandaise sauce.

Weetabix said its recipe put a British twist on a classically American dish, swapping the muffin for the healthier cereal, but the suggestion did not seem to go down too well…

As if a suggestion on the weetabix box is to use them to replace the muffin in eggs benedict. What sort of devil brainstormed that!?

Nothing would possess me to put a weetabix together with eggs benedict…an abomination! https://t.co/px4SM79emh

@jennycolgan @eggsbened An egg on a Weetabix? Unfathomable wrongness. I may have to go and lie down.

Though, it has to be said, some cereal fans seemed to have warmed to the idea.
Cmon guys leave @weetabix alone. That weetabix, eggs and ham actually seems quite nice ??

Fun fact. I like Weetabix. I enjoy them plain. Or with fruit. And yes, I would eat them as eggs benedict. Unfollow me as you see fit.

Weetabix said the serving suggestion was aimed toward the more adventurous eater and there were plenty more recipes up their sleeves to cater to simpler palate.
