Spinach Risotto with Asparagus, Morels, and a Poached Egg

Inspiration from a meal out tonight: Spinach risotto w/ asparagus, morels, and a poached egg. Worth trying out. I would cook the risotto with water left from soaking the morels and what was squeezed out of some quickly sauteed spinach. Add the chopped, sauteed spinach, and already cooked asparagus spears and morels during the last 5 minutes of cooking. Could also use some of the water used to steam the asparagus...
