We can set up an equation to solve this problem. Let's call the number of quiches to be sold "x".
The cost to make the quiches is $30 plus $0.50 per quiche, so the total cost is 30 + 0.5x.
The revenue from selling the quiches is $2 per quiche, so the total revenue is 2x.
To break even, the total cost is equal to the total revenue, so we have the equation:
30 + 0.5x = 2x
Subtracting 0.5x and 30 from both sides, we get:
0.5x = 30
Dividing both sides by 0.5, we get:
x = 60
Therefore, they will need to sell 60 quiches to break even.
The correct answer is not given in the options.
