I went through several websites to try to identify what this is on these basil leaves and nothing I found matched. Does anyone have any idea what this could be? It kind of looks like some sort of eggs, but in some cases there were holes so I'm not sure.

Looks like you have an insect infestation of some kind. Take a strong magnifier and get a good look at whats eating your basil. You could put out some yellow stickies next to the plants and catch some to id them. You need to spray your plants with something to kill the bugs. I used cold-pressed neem oil mixed with a drop of dish soap in warm water. Good luck.
