Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place sun dried tomatoes into a small bowl and cover with hot water. Let set for 10-15 minutes to rehydrate, then drain and finely chop. Put 1/2 of the pine nuts in a small non-stick skillet and lightly toast over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Set aside. In a medium bowl, combine egg, milk, olive oil, and Dijon mustard until blended. Add artichoke hearts and sun dried tomatoes. In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, seasoned salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, toasted pine nuts, and Asiago cheese. Add egg mixture and stir just until flour mixture is incorporated. Spoon into greased non-stick mini muffin cups to 3/4 full. Sprinkle with untoasted pine nuts and press lightly into batter. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Remove to wire rack to cool. Serve warm or at room temperature.
