Baked cucumbers (Concombres au beurre) from Mastering the Art of French Cooking, Volume One (page 499) by Julia Child and Louisette Bertholle and Simone Beck

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Accompaniments: Chicken simmered with cream and onions (Fondue de poulet à la crème)

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Julia describes this as a base recipe but I served as is and loved them. M thought they were just ok. I scaled the recipe to 2 servings (2 cucumbers). 1 hour in the oven was perfect. I let the cucumbers sit for 1 hour before baking. I used dill as the herb.
