12 quiches
To break even, the Spanish Club needs to cover the cost of making the quiches, which is $30 + $0.50 per quiche. At a selling price of $2 per quiche, they will make $2 per quiche sold.
Let x be the number of quiches they need to sell to break even.
Total cost = Total revenue
$30 + $0.50x = $2x
$30 = $1.50x
x = 20
Therefore, the Spanish Club will need to sell 20 quiches to break even.
So the answer is: 20 quiches
