To break even, the Spanish Club needs to cover the cost of making the quiches, which is $30 + $0.50 per quiche.

Let's calculate the break-even point:

Cost to make quiches = $30 + $0.50 per quiche
Selling price per quiche = $2

Now, we can set up an equation to find the break-even point:

30 + 0.50x = 2x

Solve for x:

30 = 1.5x
x = 30 / 1.5
x = 20

Therefore, the Spanish Club will need to sell 20 quiches in order to break even.

Answer: 20 quiches
