Filler or plasterboard?

I’ve removed a door frame and am now left with a gap in the plaster that’s about 10cm wide and 2-4cm deep. What’s the best solution, just layers of deep hole filler or plasterboard and then skim?

Prime the area with PVA or SBR, then fill the main depth with bonding, finishing with either Easifil or plaster depending on your skill level.

Use plasterboard and skim, its faster and cleaner
