Eggs Benedict with Bacon, Avodaise (Avocado Hollandaise) and Harissa

Avocados have to be one of my favourite foods so when I came across the idea of an avocado hollandaise sauce I just had to try it!

This avocado hollandaise, I am going to call it an avodaise sauce,...

Al pastor is a Mexican pork that is marinated in chilies and pineapple, layered and roasted on a vertical rotisserie similar to shawarma.
