1. Cut out another piece and stick it in, and fill up the edge crack?

2. Cover it with gauze and then fill from there.

Any tips welcome. I have a few to do!

Take a wood paint stirrer. Cut it about 6" wider that the hole.
Drive a drywall screw into the center. Put a dollup of instant glue
or quick-set construction adhesive on each end. Slip the stirrer into
the hole, pulling on the screw till the glue sets. Cut a piece of
sheetrock to fit into the hole. Use instant glue to fasten it to the
wood stirrer. Then tape and mud.
